curs_delch(3curses)                              curs_delch(3curses)


       NAME
             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.
