NAME
     cursdeleteln:  deleteln,  wdeleteln,  insdelln,  winsdelln,
     insertln,  winsertln  -  delete and 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
     With the deleteln and wdeleteln routines, the line under the
     cursor in the window is deleted; 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.  (This
     does not imply use of a hardware delete line feature.)  With
     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.  With the insertln
     and  insertln  routines,  a blank line is inserted above the
     current line and the bottom line is lost.   (This  does  not
     imply use of a hardware insert line 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 all but winsdelln may be a macros.
