.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These routines insert the character  \fIwch\fR, holding a  \fBwchar_t\fR character, before the character under the cursor. All characters to the right of the cursor are moved one space to the right, with the possibility of the rightmost character on the line being lost. The cursor position does not change (after moving to \fIy\fR, \fIx\fR, if specified). (This does not imply use of the hardware insert character feature.)
.SH RETURN VALUE
.sp
.LP
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion.
