<STRONG>sertln</STRONG> - delete and insert lines in a <STRONG>curses</STRONG> window
</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG>
<STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>deleteln(void);</STRONG>
<STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>wdeleteln(WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*win);</STRONG>
<STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>insdelln(int</STRONG> <STRONG>n);</STRONG>
<STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>winsdelln(WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*win,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>n);</STRONG>
<STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>insertln(void);</STRONG>
<STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>winsertln(WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*win);</STRONG>
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <STRONG>deleteln</STRONG> and <STRONG>wdeleteln</STRONG> routines delete the line under
the cursor in the window; all lines below the current line
are moved up one line. The bottom line of the window is
cleared. The cursor position does not change.
The <STRONG>insdelln</STRONG> and <STRONG>winsdelln</STRONG> routines, for positive <EM>n</EM>,
insert <EM>n</EM> lines into the specified window above the current
line. The <EM>n</EM> bottom lines are lost. For negative <EM>n</EM>,
delete <EM>n</EM> lines (starting with the one under the cursor),
and move the remaining lines up. The bottom <EM>n</EM> lines are
cleared. The current cursor position remains the same.
The <STRONG>insertln</STRONG> and <STRONG>winsertln</STRONG> routines insert a blank line
above the current line and the bottom line is lost.
</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
All routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an <STRONG>OK</STRONG>
(SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>")
upon successful completion.
X/Open defines no error conditions. In this implementa-
tion, if the window parameter is null, an error is
returned.
</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
Issue 4. The standard specifies that they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on
failure, but specifies no error conditions.
</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
Note that all but <STRONG>winsdelln</STRONG> may be macros.
These routines do not require a hardware line delete or
insert feature in the terminal. In fact, they will not
use hardware line delete/insert unless <STRONG>idlok(...,</STRONG> <STRONG>TRUE)</STRONG>
has been set on the current window.
