<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
       <B>insch</B>,  <B>winsch</B>,  <B>mvinsch</B>,  <B>mvwinsch</B>  -  insert a character
       before cursor in a <B>curses</B> window


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <B>#include</B> <B>&lt;curses.h&gt;</B>

       <B>int</B> <B>insch(chtype</B> <B>ch);</B>
       <B>int</B> <B>winsch(WINDOW</B> <B>*win,</B> <B>chtype</B> <B>ch);</B>
       <B>int</B> <B>mvinsch(int</B> <B>y,</B> <B>int</B> <B>x,</B> <B>chtype</B> <B>ch);</B>
       <B>int</B> <B>mvwinsch(WINDOW</B> <B>*win,</B> <B>int</B> <B>y,</B> <B>int</B> <B>x,</B> <B>chtype</B> <B>ch);</B>


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       These routines, insert the character <I>ch</I> before the charac-
       ter  under the cursor.  All characters to the right of the
       cursor are moved one space to the right, with  the  possi-
       bility  of the rightmost character on the line being lost.
       The insertion operation does not change the  cursor  posi-
       tion.


</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
       All  routines that return an integer return <B>ERR</B> upon fail-
       ure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an  integer  value  other
       than  <B>ERR</B>")  upon  successful completion, unless otherwise
       noted in the preceding routine descriptions.


</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
       These routines do not necessarily imply use of a  hardware
       insert character feature.

       Note that <B>insch</B>, <B>mvinsch</B>, and <B>mvwinsch</B> may be macros.


</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
       These  functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
       Issue 4.
