<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>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.
