NAME
       ins_wstr, ins_nwstr, wins_wstr, wins_nwstr, mvins_wstr, mvins_nwstr, mvwins_wstr, mvwins_nwstr -insert mvwins_nwstrinsert
       insert a wide-character string into a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int ins_wstr(const wchar_t *wstr);
       int ins_nwstr(const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
       int wins_wstr(WINDOW *win, const wchar_t *wstr);
       int wins_nwstr(WINDOW *win, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
       int mvins_wstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr);
       int mvins_nwstr(int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);
       int mvwins_wstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr);
       int mvwins_nwstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const wchar_t *wstr, int n);

DESCRIPTION
       These routines insert a wchar_t 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.  No wrapping is  performed.   The
       cursor  position  does  not change (after moving to y, x, if specified).  The four routines with n as
       the last argument insert a leading substring of at most n wchar_t characters.  If n is less  than  1,
       the entire string is inserted.

       If a character in wstr is a tab, newline, carriage return or backspace, the cursor is moved appropri-ately appropriately
       ately within the window.  A newline also does a clrtoeol before moving.  Tabs are considered to be at
       every  eighth column.  If a character in wstr is another control character, it is drawn in the ^X no-tation. notation.
       tation.  Calling win_wch 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.

NOTES
       Note that all but wins_nwstr may be macros.

       If the first character in the string is a nonspacing character, these functions will fail.  XSI  does
       not define what will happen if a nonspacing character follows a control character.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.  Otherwise, they return ERR.
