NAME
       erasechar,  erasewchar,	killchar,  killwchar - return current ERASE or
       KILL characters

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
       -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       char erasechar(void);

       int erasewchar(wchar_t *ch);

       char killchar(void);

       int killwchar(wchar_t *ch);

DESCRIPTION
       The erasechar() function returns the current ERASE character  from  the
       tty  driver.   This  character is used to delete the previous character
       during keyboard input.  The returned value can be used  when  including
       deletion capability in  interactive programs.

       The  killchar() function is similar to erasechar(). It returns the cur‐
       rent KILL character.

       The erasewchar() and killwchar() functions are similar to   erasechar()
       and  killchar() respectively, but store the  ERASE or KILL character in
       the object pointed to by ch.

PARAMETERS
       ch	Is a pointer to a location where a character may be stored.

RETURN VALUES
       For erasechar() and killchar(),	the  terminal's	 current   <ERASE>  or
       <KILL> character is returned.

       On  success, the erasewchar() and killwchar() functions return OK. Oth‐
       erwise, they return ERR.
