Curses Library Functions                      cursclear(3CURSES)



NAME
     cursclear, erase, werase, clear, wclear, clrtobot,  wclrto-
     bot,  clrtoeol,  wclrtoeol  -  clear all or part of a curses
     window

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
     #include 

     int erase(void);


     int werase(WINDOW *win);


     int clear(void);


     int wclear(WINDOW *win);


     int clrtobot(void);


     int wclrtobot(WINDOW *win);


     int clrtoeol(void);


     int wclrtoeol(WINDOW *win);


DESCRIPTION
     The erase() and werase() routines copy blanks to every posi-
     tion in the window.


     The clear() and  wclear()  routines  are  like  erase()  and
     werase(),  but they also call clearok() , so that the screen
     is cleared completely on the next  call  to  wrefresh()  for
     that window and repainted from scratch.


     The clrtobot() and  wclrtobot()  routines  erase  all  lines
     below  the  cursor  in the window. Also, the current line to
     the right of the cursor, inclusive, is erased.


     The clrtoeol() and wclrtoeol() routines  erase  the  current
     line to the right of the cursor, inclusive.
