  70 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  71        These  routines insert a character string (as many charac-
  72        ters as will fit on the line) before the  character  under
  73        the cursor.  All characters to the right of the cursor are
  74        shifted right, with the possibility of the rightmost char-
  75        acters  on  the line being lost.  The cursor position does
  76        not change (after moving to <EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>, if specified). The  four
  77        routines with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument insert a leading sub-
  78        string of at most <EM>n</EM> characters.  If <EM>n</EM>&lt;=0, then the  entire
  79        string is inserted.
  80
  81        If  a  character in <EM>str</EM> is a tab, newline, carriage return
  82        or backspace, the cursor is moved appropriately within the
  83        window.   A  newline  also  does a <STRONG>clrtoeol</STRONG> before moving.
  84        Tabs are considered to be at every eighth  column.   If  a
  85        character in <EM>str</EM> is another control character, it is drawn
  86        in the <STRONG>^</STRONG><EM>X</EM> notation.  Calling <STRONG>winch</STRONG> after adding a  control
  87        character (and moving to it, if necessary) does not return
  88        the control character, but instead returns a character  in
  89        the ^-representation of the control character.

  91
  92 </PRE>
  93 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
  94        All  routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon fail-
  95        ure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an  integer  value  other
  96        than  <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>")  upon  successful completion, unless otherwise
  97        noted in the preceding routine descriptions.

 106 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
 107        These functions are described in the XSI Curses  standard,
 108        Issue  4,  which  adds  const qualifiers to the arguments.
 109        The XSI Curses error  conditions  <STRONG>EILSEQ</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>EILOVERFLOW</STRONG>
 110        associated  with  extended-level  conformance  are not yet
 111        detected (this implementation does not  yet  support  XPG4
 112        multibyte characters).
