DESCRIPTION
These functions add information to the current or specified window at the current or specified position,
and then advance the cursor. These functions perform wrapping. These functions perform special-
character processing.
If wch refers to a spacing character, then any previous character at that location is removed, a
new character specified by wch is placed at that location with rendition specified by wch; then
the cursor advances to the next spacing character on the screen.
If wch refers to a non-spacing character, all previous characters at that location are preserved,
the non-spacing characters of wch are added to the spacing complex character, and the rendition
specified by wch is ignored.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions return
OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
