NAME
       curs_insstr,  insstr,  insnstr, winsstr, winsnstr, mvinsstr, mvinsnstr,
       mvwinsstr, mvwinsnstr - Insert a string before the character under  the
       cursor in a Curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int insstr(
	       const char *str ); int insnstr(
	       const char *str,
	       int n ); int winsstr(
	       WINDOW *win,
	       const char *str ); int winsnstr(
	       WINDOW *win,
	       const char *str,
	       int n ); int mvinsstr(
	       int y,
	       int x,
	       const char *str ); int mvinsnstr(
	       int y,
	       int x,
	       const char *str,
	       int n ); int mvwinsstr(
	       WINDOW *win,
	       int y,
	       int x,
	       const char *str ); int mvwinsnstr(
	       WINDOW *win,
	       int y,
	       int x,
	       const char *str,
	       int n );

LIBRARY
       Curses Library (libcurses)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
       dards as follows:

       insstr, insnstr, winsstr,  winsnstr,  mvinsstr,	mvinsnstr,  mvwinsstr,
       mvwinsnstr:  XCURSES4.2

       Refer  to  the  standards(5)  reference page for more information about
       industry standards and associated tags.

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 moved to the right, with the possibility
       of the rightmost characters on the line being lost. The cursor position
       does not change (after moving to y, x, if  specified).  This  does  not
       imply use of the hardware insert-character feature.

       The  four routines with n as the last argument insert at most n charac‐
       ters. If n<=0, then the routines insert the entire string.

       If a character in str is a tab, newline, carriage return, or backspace,
       the routines move the cursor appropriately within the window. A newline
       also causes clrtoeol before moving. Tabs are considered to be at	 every
       eighth  column.	If a character in str is another control character, it
       is drawn in the ^X notation. Calling winch after adding a control char‐
       acter  (and  moving  to	it,  if necessary) does not return the control
       character, but instead returns the representation of the control	 char‐
       acter.

NOTES
       The  header  file  <curses.h>  automatically  includes  the header file
       <stdio.h>.

       Note that all but winsnstr may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and OK upon successful
       completion.
