delch(), mvdelch(), mvwdelch(), wdelch() delete character under the cursor in a curses window	Curses Function
	SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION RETURN VALUES NOTES PORTABILITY AVAILABILITY SEE ALSO

---

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 specified). (This does not imply use of the hardware delete character feature.)

---

RETURN VALUES

All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an OK (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful completion.

---

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.
