delch(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions delch(3XCURSES) NAME
delch, mvdelch, mvwdelch, wdelch - remove a character SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ] c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ] #include <curses.h> int delch(void); int mvdelch(int y, int x); int mvwdelch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x); int wdelch(WINDOW *win); DESCRIPTION
The delch() and wdelch() functions delete the character at the current cursor position from stdscr and win, respectively. All remaining characters after cursor through to the end of the line are shifted one character towards the start of the line. The last character on the line becomes a space; characters on other lines are not affected. The mvdelch() and mvwdelch() functions delete the character at the position specified by the x and y parameters; the former deletes the character from stdscr; the latter from win. PARAMETERS
y Is the y (row) coordinate of the position of the character to be removed. x Is the x (column) coordinate of the position of the character to be removed. win Is a pointer to the window containing the character to be removed. RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR. ERRORS
None. ATTRIBUTES

inch(3XCURSES) X/Open Curses Library Functions inch(3XCURSES) NAME
inch, mvinch, mvwinch, winch - return a single-byte character (with rendition) SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ] c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ] #include <curses.h> chtype inch(void); chtype mvinch(int y, int x); chtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x); chtype winch(WINDOW *win); DESCRIPTION
The inch() and winch() functions return the chtype character located at the current cursor position of the stdscr window and window win, respectively. The mvinch() and mvwinch() functions return the chtype character located at the position indicated by the x (column) and y (row) parameters (the former in the stdscr window; the latter in window win). The complete character/attribute pair will be returned. The character or attributes can be extracted by performing a bitwise AND on the returned value, using the constants A_CHARTEXT, A_ATTRIBUTES, and A_COLOR. PARAMETERS
y Is the y (row) coordinate of the position of the character to be returned. x Is the x (column) coordinate of the position of the character to be returned. win Is a pointer to the window that contains the character to be returned. RETURN VALUES
On success, these functions return the specified character and rendition. Otherwise, they return ERR. ERRORS
None. ATTRIBUTES
