curs_delch(3X)                                               curs_delch(3X)


   NAME
         cursdelch:  delch, wdelch, mvdelch, mvwdelch - delete character
         under 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
         With these routines the character under the cursor in the window is
         deleted; 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 integer value
         other than ERR upon successful completion.

   NOTES
         The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
         <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

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