NAME
       curs_clear,  erase,  werase,  clear,  wclear, clrtobot, wclrtobot, clr‐
       toeol, wclrtoeol - clear all or part of a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
       #include <curses.h>

       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 position 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 cur‐
       sor 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.

RETURN VALUES
       All routines return the integer OK, or a non-negative integer if	 imme‐
       dok() is set. See curs_outopts(3CURSES).
