+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These routines insert a character string (as many characters as will fit on the
+line) before the character under the cursor. All characters to the right of
+the cursor are shifted right, with the possibility of the rightmost characters
+on the line being lost. The cursor position does not change (after moving to
+\fIy\fR, \fIx\fR, if specified). The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last
+argument insert a leading substring of at most \fIn\fR characters. If
+\fIn\fR<=0, then the entire string is inserted.
+
+If a character in \fIstr\fR is a tab, newline, carriage return or
+backspace, the cursor is moved appropriately within the window. A
+newline also does a \fBclrtoeol\fR before moving. Tabs are considered
+to be at every eighth column. If a character in \fIstr\fR is another
+control character, it is drawn in the \fB^\fR\fIX\fR notation.
+Calling \fBwinch\fR after adding a control character (and moving to
+it, if necessary) does not return the control character, but instead
+returns a character in the ^-representation of the control character.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+All routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure and OK (SVr4
+specifies only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
+completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
+.SH NOTES
+Note that all but \fBwinsnstr\fR may be macros.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4, which adds
+const qualifiers to the arguments. The XSI Curses error conditions
+\fBEILSEQ\fR and \fBEILOVERFLOW\fR associated with extended-level conformance
+are not yet detected (this implementation does not yet support XPG4 multibyte
+characters).
