STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  clear, wclear, erase, werase, clrtobot, wclrtobot, clrtoeol,
  wclrtoeol:  XCURSES4.2

  Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
  industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
  The erase and werase routines copy blanks to every position in the window.

  The clear and wclear routines are similar to erase and werase but also call
  clearok. The result is that the screen is cleared completely on the next
  call to wrefresh for that window and repainted from scratch.

  The clrtobot and wclrtobot routines erase all lines below the cursor in the
  window. In addition, these routines erase the current line to the right of
  the cursor, including the character on which the cursor is positioned.

  The clrtoeol and wclrtoeol routines erase the current line to the right of
  the cursor, including the character on which the cursor is positioned.

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

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

RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, these routines return OK; otherwise, they
  return ERR.
