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.
