DESCRIPTION

39       With these routines, a character string (as many characters as will fit
40       on the line) is inserted before the character  under  the  cursor.  All
41       characters  to the right of the cursor are moved to the right, with the
42       possibility of the rightmost characters on the  line  being  lost.  The
43       cursor  position  does not change (after moving to y, x, if specified).
44       (This does not imply use of the hardware insert character feature.) The
45       four routines with n as the last argument insert at most  n characters.
46       If n<=0, then the entire string is inserted.
47
48
49       If a character in str is a tab, newline, carriage return or  backspace,
50       the  cursor  is  moved  appropriately within the window. A newline also
51       does a clrtoeol() before moving. Tabs are considered  to  be  at  every
52       eighth  column.  If a character in str is another control character, it
53       is drawn in the ^X notation. Calling winch()  after  adding  a  control
54       character  (and moving to it, if necessary) does not return the control
55       character, but instead returns the representation of the control  char‐
56       acter.
57

RETURN VALUES

59       All  routines  return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
60       other than ERR upon successful completion.
