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
77 functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument insert a leading
78 substring of at most <EM>n</EM> characters. If <EM>n</EM>&lt;=0, then the
79 entire string is inserted.
80
81 Special characters are handled as in <STRONG>addch</STRONG>.
82
83
84</PRE>
85<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
86 All routines that return an integer return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon fail-
87 ure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other
88 than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful completion, unless otherwise
89 noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
90
91 X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementa-
92 tion, if the window parameter is null or the str parameter
93 is null, an error is returned.
94
95
96</PRE>
97<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
98 Note that all but <STRONG>winsnstr</STRONG> may be macros.
99
100
101</PRE>
102<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
103 These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
104 Issue 4, which adds const qualifiers to the arguments.
105
106 The Single Unix Specification, Version 2 states that
107 <STRONG>insnstr</STRONG> and <STRONG>winsnstr</STRONG> perform wrapping. This is probably
108 an error, since it makes this group of functions inconsis-
109 tent. Also, no implementation of curses documents this
110 inconsistency.
