+\fBint werase(WINDOW *\fIwin\fP); +.PP +\fBint clear(void); +\fBint wclear(WINDOW *\fIwin\fP); +.PP +\fBint clrtobot(void); +\fBint wclrtobot(WINDOW *\fIwin\fP); +.PP +\fBint clrtoeol(void); +\fBint wclrtoeol(WINDOW *\fIwin\fP); +.fi +.SH DESCRIPTION +.SS "erase, werase" +The \fBerase\fP and \fBwerase\fP routines copy blanks to every +position in the window, clearing the screen. +.PP +Blanks created by erasure have the current background rendition (as set +by \fB\%wbkgdset\fP(3NCURSES)) merged into them. +.SS "clear, wclear" +The \fBclear\fP and \fBwclear\fP routines are like \fBerase\fP and +\fBwerase\fP, but they also call \fB\%clearok\fP(3NCURSES), so that the screen is +cleared completely on the next call to \fBwrefresh\fP for that window +and repainted from scratch. +.SS "clrtobot, wclrtobot" +The \fBclrtobot\fP and \fBwclrtobot\fP routines erase from the cursor to the +end of screen. +That is, they erase all lines below the cursor in the window. +Also, the current line to the right of the cursor, inclusive, is erased. +.SS "clrtoeol, wclrtoeol" +The \fBclrtoeol\fP and \fBwclrtoeol\fP routines erase the current line +to the right of the cursor, inclusive, to the end of the current line. +.SH RETURN VALUE +All routines return the integer \fBOK\fP on success and \fBERR\fP on failure. +.PP +X/Open defines no error conditions. +In this implementation, +.bP +functions using a window pointer parameter return an error if it is null +.bP +\fBwclrtoeol\fP returns an error +if the cursor position is about to wrap. +.SH NOTES +Note that \fBerase\fP, \fBwerase\fP, \fBclear\fP, \fBwclear\fP, +\fBclrtobot\fP, and \fBclrtoeol\fP may be macros. +.SH PORTABILITY +These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. +.PP +The SVr4.0 manual says that these functions could return +\*(``or a non-negative integer if \fB\%immedok\fP is set\*('', +referring to the return-value of \fBwrefresh\fP. +In that implementation, \fBwrefresh\fP would return a count of +the number of characters written to the terminal. +.PP +Some historic curses implementations had, as an undocumented feature, the +ability to do the equivalent of \fBclearok(..., 1)\fP by saying +\fBtouchwin(stdscr)\fP or \fBclear(stdscr)\fP. +This will not work under +\fI\%ncurses\fP. +.PP +This implementation, and others such as Solaris, +sets the current position to 0,0 after erasing +via \fBwerase\fP and \fBwclear\fP. +That fact is not documented in other implementations, +and may not be true of implementations +which were not derived from SVr4 source. +.PP +Not obvious from the description, +most implementations clear the screen after \fBwclear\fP +even for a subwindow or derived window. +If you do not want to clear the screen during the next \fBwrefresh\fP, +use \fBwerase\fP instead. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fB\%ncurses\fP(3NCURSES), +\fB\%outopts\fP(3NCURSES), +\fB\%refresh\fP(3NCURSES), +\fB\%curses_variables\fP(3NCURSES) |
