(CURSES)

NAME

insch, mvinsch, mvwinsch, winsch — insert a single-byte character and rendition into a window

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

int insch(chtype ch);

int mvinsch(int y, int x, chtype ch);

int mvwinsch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, chtype ch);

int winsch(WINDOW *win, chtype ch);

DESCRIPTION

These functions insert the character and rendition from ch into the current or speciﬁed window at the

current or speciﬁed position.

These functions do not perform wrapping. These functions do not advance the cursor position. These

functions perform special-character processing, with the exception that if a newline is inserted into the

last line of a window and scrolling is not enabled, the behaviour is unspeciﬁed.

RETURN VALUE

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

ERRORS

No errors are deﬁned.

APPLICATION USAGE

These functions are only guaranteed to operate reliably on character sets in which each character ﬁts into

a single byte, whose attributes can be expressed using only constants with the A_ preﬁx.
