NAME
  curs_deleteln, deleteln, wdeleteln, insdelln, winsdelln, insertln,
  winsertln - Delete or insert lines in a Curses window

SYNOPSIS
  #include <curses.h>

  int deleteln(
	  void );

  int wdeleteln(
	  WINDOW *win );

  int insdelln(
	  int n );

  int winsdelln(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  int n );

  int insertln(
	  void );

  int winsertln(
	  WINDOW *win );

LIBRARY
  Curses Library (libcurses)

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

  deleteln, wdeleteln, insdelln, winsdelln, insertln, winsertln:  XCURSES4.2

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

DESCRIPTION
  The deleteln and wdeleteln routines do the following:

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

    ·  Move all lines below the current line up one line

    ·  Clear the bottom line of the window

  These routines do not change the cursor position. (This does not imply use
  of a hardware delete line feature.)

  The insdelln and winsdelln routines do the following:

    ·  For positive n, insert n lines into the current or specified window
       above the current line

       The n bottom lines are lost.

    ·  For negative n, delete n lines (starting with the one under the
       cursor), and move the remaining lines up

       The bottom n lines are cleared.

  These routines do not change the current cursor position.

  The insertln and insertln routines insert a blank line above the current
  line. The bottom line is lost. (This does not imply use of a hardware
  insert line feature.)

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

  Note that all routines except winsdelln may be macros.

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