These routines insert a <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> character string (as many characters as
will fit on the line) before the character under the cursor. All char-
acters to the right of the cursor are shifted right, with the possibil-
ity of the rightmost characters on the line being lost. No wrapping is
performed. The cursor position does not change (after moving to <EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>,
if specified). The four routines with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument insert a
leading substring of at most <EM>n</EM> <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG> characters. If <EM>n</EM> is less than
1, the entire string is inserted.
If a character in <EM>wstr</EM> is a tab, newline, carriage return or backspace,
the cursor is moved appropriately within the window. A newline also
does a <STRONG>clrtoeol</STRONG> before moving. Tabs are considered to be at every
eighth column. If a character in <EM>wstr</EM> is another control character, it
is drawn in the <STRONG>^</STRONG><EM>X</EM> notation. Calling <STRONG>win_wch</STRONG> after adding a control
character (and moving to it, if necessary) does not return the control
character, but instead returns a character in the ^-representation of
the control character.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
Note that all but wins_nwstr may be macros.
If the first character in the string is a nonspacing character, these
functions will fail. XSI does not define what will happen if a non-
spacing character follows a control character.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
Upon successful completion, these functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. Otherwise, they
return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>.
Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
<STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is outside the window, or if
the window pointer is null.
