NAME

       erasechar, erasewchar, killchar, killwchar - return current ERASE or KILL characters

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>

       char erasechar(void);

       int erasewchar(wchar_t *ch);

       char killchar(void);

       int killwchar(wchar_t *ch);

DESCRIPTION

       The erasechar() function returns the current ERASE character  from the tty driver.  This character is used to delete the previous character
       during keyboard input.  The returned value can be used when including deletion capability in  interactive programs.

       The killchar() function is similar to erasechar(). It returns the current KILL character.

       The erasewchar() and killwchar() functions are similar to  erasechar() and killchar() respectively, but store the  ERASE or KILL  character
       in the object pointed to by ch.

PARAMETERS

       ch    Is a pointer to a location where a character may be stored.

RETURN VALUES

       For erasechar() and killchar(), the terminal's current  ERASE or KILL character is returned.

       On success, the erasewchar() and killwchar() functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR.
