Insert a character at the current cursor position in the specified window. The insch function acts on the stdscr window.
#include <curses.h>int insch (char ch);
int winsch (WINDOW *win, char ch);
win
A pointer to the window.ch
The character to be inserted.
After the character is inserted, each character on the line shifts to the right, and the last character in the line is deleted. For more information, see the scrollok function.
OK Indicates success. ERR Indicates that the function makes the screen scroll illegally.
Insert a line above the line containing the current cursor position. The insertln function acts on the stdscr window.
#include <curses.h>int insertln();
int winsertln (WINDOW *win);
win
A pointer to the window.
The current line and every line below it shifts down, and the bottom line disappears. The inserted line is blank and the current (y,x) coordinates remain the same. For more information, see the scrollok function.
OK Indicates success. ERR Indicates that the function makes the screen scroll illegally.
Insert a string at the current cursor position in the specified window. The insstr function acts on the stdscr window.
#include <curses.h>int insstr (char *str);
int winsstr (WINDOW *win, char *str);
win
A pointer to the window.str
A pointer to the string to be inserted.
Each character after the string shifts to the right, and the last character disappears. These functions are specific to HP C for OpenVMS Systems and are not portable.
OK Indicates success. ERR Indicates that the function makes the screen scroll illegally. For more information, see the scrollok function.
