NAME

7       cursor in a curses window

SYNOPSIS

10       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
11       #include <curses.h>

DESCRIPTION

26       With these routines the character under the cursor  in  the  window  is
27       deleted; all characters to the right of the cursor on the same line are
28       moved to the left one position and the last character on  the  line  is
29       filled  with a blank. The cursor position does not change (after moving
30       to y, x, if specified). This does not imply use of the hardware  delete
31       character feature.
32

RETURN VALUES

34       All  routines  return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value
35       other than ERR upon successful completion.
