NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

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

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <curses.h>

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

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

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

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

PORTABILITY    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
