curs_clear(3X)          LIBRARY FUNCTIONS          curs_clear(3X)



NAME
     cursclear:  erase, werase, clear, wclear, clrtobot, wclrto-
     bot,  clrtoeol,  wclrtoeol  -  clear all or part of a curses
     window

SYNOPSIS
     # include <curses.h>

     int erase(void);
     int werase(WINDOW *win);
     int clear(void);
     int wclear(WINDOW *win);
     int clrtobot(void);
     int wclrtobot(WINDOW *win);
     int clrtoeol(void);
     int wclrtoeol(WINDOW *win);

DESCRIPTION
     The erase and werase routines copy blanks to every  position
     in the window.  The clear and wclear routines are like erase
     and werase, but they also call clearok, so that  the  screen
     is  cleared completely on the next call to wrefresh for that
     window and repainted from scratch.  The clrtobot and wclrto-
     bot routines erase all lines below the cursor in the window.
     Also,  the  current  line  to  the  right  of  the   cursor,
     inclusive,  is  erased.  The clrtoeol and wclrtoeol routines
     erase  the  current  line  to  the  right  of  the   cursor,
     inclusive.

RETURN VALUE
     All routines  return  the  integer  OK,  or  a  non-negative
     integer if immedok is set.

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

     Note  that  erase,  werase,  clear,  wclear,  clrtobot,  and
     clrtoeol may be macros.
