curs_delch(3X) curs_delch(3X) NAME delch, wdelch, mvdelch, mvwdelch - delete character under the cursor in a curses window SYNOPSIS #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 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 po- sition 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 speci- fies only "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful comple- tion. 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. SEE ALSO curses(3X) curs_delch(3X)
