.TH curs_delch 3X "" .SH NAME \fBdelch\fR, \fBwdelch\fR, \fBmvdelch\fR, \fBmvwdelch\fR - delete character under the cursor in a \fBcurses\fR window .SH SYNOPSIS \fB#include <curses.h>\fR \fBint delch(void);\fR .br \fBint wdelch(WINDOW *win);\fR .br \fBint mvdelch(int y, int x);\fR .br \fBint mvwdelch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);\fR .br .SH DESCRIPTION These routines delete the character under the cursor; 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 \fIy\fR, \fIx\fR, if specified). (This does not imply use of the hardware delete character feature.) .SH RETURN VALUE All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an \fBOK\fR (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful completion. .SH NOTES Note that \fBdelch\fR, \fBmvdelch\fR, and \fBmvwdelch\fR may be macros. .SH PORTABILITY These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. The standard specifies that they return \fBERR\fR on failure, but specifies no error conditions. .SH SEE ALSO \fBcurses\fR(3X) .\"# .\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS .\"# Local Variables: .\"# mode:nroff .\"# fill-column:79 .\"# End:
