curs_delch(3X)                   UNIX System V                   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.
