DESCRIPTION

16       tickit_term_erasech()  erases  count  character  cells forward from the
17       current cursor location, using the current pen background colour.
18
19       Some terminals cannot erase using the background colour, so this opera‐
20       tion may be implemented by printing spaces on such terminals. This will
21       move the cursor to the end of the erased region. Other  terminals  that
22       do  erase  with background colour can be erased without moving the cur‐
23       sor. The moveend parameter controls the behaviour of the  cursor  loca‐
24       tion  when this function returns. If set to TICKIT_YES, the cursor will
25       be moved to the end of  the  erased  region  if  required.  If  set  to
26       TICKIT_NO,  the  cursor  will be moved back to its original location if
27       required. If set to TICKIT_MAYBE, this function will take whichever be‐
28       haviour is more optimal on the given terminal.
