NAME
       delch,  wdelch,	mvdelch, mvwdelch - delete character under the 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
       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 y, x, if speci-
       fied).  (This does not imply use of the hardware delete character fea-
       ture.)

RETURN VALUE
       All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an OK (SVr4 spec-
       ifies only "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful  comple-
       tion.

NOTES
       Note that delch, mvdelch, and mvwdelch may be macros.

PORTABILITY
       These  functions	 are  described	 in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
       The standard specifies that they return ERR on failure, but  specifies
       no error conditions.
