curs_delch(3curses)
curs_delch: delch, wdelch, mvdelch, mvwdelch --
delete character under cursor in a curses window
Synopsis
cc [flag . . .] file -lcurses [library . . .]
#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 values
All routines return the integer ERR upon
failure and an integer value other than ERR
upon successful completion.

Notices
The header file curses.h automatically includes the header files
stdio.h and unctrl.h.
Note that delch, mvdelch, and mvwdelch
may be macros.
