curs_deleteln(3X)		 Library calls		     curs_deleteln(3X)

NAME
       deleteln,  wdeleteln, insdelln, winsdelln, insertln, winsertln -	delete
       or insert lines in a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curses.h>

       int deleteln(void);
       int wdeleteln(WINDOW *win);

       int insdelln(int	n);
       int winsdelln(WINDOW *win, int n);

       int insertln(void);
       int winsertln(WINDOW *win);

DESCRIPTION
       The deleteln and	wdeleteln routines delete the line under the cursor in
       the window; all lines below the current line are	 moved	up  one	 line.
       The bottom line of the window is	cleared.  The cursor position does not
       change.

       The  insdelln  and  winsdelln  routines,	for positive n,	insert n lines
       into the	specified window above the current line.  The n	 bottom	 lines
       are  lost.  For negative	n, delete n lines (starting with the one under
       the cursor), and	move the remaining lines up.  The bottom n  lines  are
       cleared.	 The current cursor position remains the same.

       The  insertln and winsertln routines insert a blank line	above the cur-
       rent line and the bottom	line is	lost.

RETURN VALUE
       These routines return the integer ERR upon  failure  and	 an  OK	 (SVr4
       specifies  only "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful com-
       pletion.

       X/Open defines no error conditions.  In	this  implementation,  if  the
       window parameter	is null, an error is returned.

NOTES
       Note that all but winsdelln may be macros.

       These  routines do not require a	hardware line delete or	insert feature
       in the terminal.	 In fact, they will not	use hardware  line  delete/in-
       sert unless idlok(..., TRUE) has	been set on the	current	window.

PORTABILITY
       These  functions	are described in X/Open	Curses,	Issue 4.  The standard
       specifies that they return ERR on failure, but specifies	no error  con-
       ditions.
