DESCRIPTION

29       The delch() and wdelch() functions delete the character at  the current
30       cursor position from stdscr and win, respectively.  All remaining char‐
31       acters  after  cursor  through  to  the end of the line are shifted one
32       character towards the start of the line. The last character on the line
33       becomes a space; characters on other lines are  not affected.
34
35
36       The  mvdelch()  and  mvwdelch()  functions delete the character at  the
37       position specified by the x and y parameters; the former   deletes  the
38       character from stdscr; the latter from win.
