.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions delete a single line from
.Dv stdscr
or from the specified window.
.Pp
The
.Fn deleteln

The cursor position is unchanged.

then only the lines from the current line to the bottom of the scrolling
region are moved up and the bottom line of the scrolling region cleared.

are equivalent to
.Fn winsdelln stdscr \-1
and
