Miscellaneous Library Functions                    curs_delch(3X)



NAME
     delch, wdelch, mvdelch, mvwdelch -  delete  character  under
     the cursor in a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     int delch(void);
     int wdelch(WINDOW *win);
     int mvdelch(int y, int x);
     int mvwdelch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);

DESCRIPTION
     These routines delete the character under  the  cursor;  all
     characters  to  the right of the cursor on the same line are
     moved to the left one position and the last character on the
     line  is  filled with a blank.  The cursor position does not
     change (after moving to y, x, if specified).  (This does not
     imply use of the hardware delete character feature.)

RETURN VALUE
     All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and  an  OK
     (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than ERR") upon
     successful completion.

NOTES
     Note that delch, mvdelch, and mvwdelch may be macros.

PORTABILITY
     These functions are described in the  XSI  Curses  standard,
     Issue  4.   The  standard  specifies that they return ERR on
     failure, but specifies no error conditions.
