NAME
  curs_delch, delch, wdelch, mvdelch, mvwdelch - Delete the 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 );

LIBRARY
  Curses Library (libcurses)

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

  delch, wdelch, mvdelch, mvwdelch:  XCURSES4.2

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

DESCRIPTION
  These routines do the following:

    ·  Delete the character under the cursor in the current or specified
       window

    ·  Move all characters that are to the right of the cursor and on the
       same line to the left one position

    ·  Fill the last character on the line with a blank.

  These routines do not change the cursor position (after moving to y, x, if
  specified). This does not imply use of the hardware delete-character
  feature.

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

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

RETURN VALUES
  All routines return ERR upon failure and OK upon successful completion.
