curs_delch(3X)                    SDK R4.11                   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.
