Simple input and output

clrtoeol and clrtobot

SYNOPSIS

   #include <ocurses.h>
   
   int clrtoeol()
   int clrtobot()

NOTES

clrtoeol changes the remainder of a line to all blanks.
clrtobot changes the remainder of a screen to all blanks.
Both begin at the current cursor position inclusive.
Neither returns any useful value.

EXAMPLE

   #include <ocurses.h>
   
   main()
   {
      initscr();
      addstr("Press <Return> to delete from here to the end
          of the line and on.");
      addstr("\nDelete this too.\nAnd this.");
      move(0,30);
      refresh();
      getch();
      clrtobot();
      refresh();
      endwin();
   }

Here's the output generated by running this program:

   Press <Return> to delete from here[]to the end of the line and on.
   Delete this too.
   And this.

Notice the two calls to refresh: one to send the full screen of text to a terminal, the other to clear from the position indicated to the bottom of a screen. Here's what the screen looks like when you press RETURN:

   Press <Return> to delete from here
   
   $[]
