+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>erase</STRONG> and <STRONG>werase</STRONG> routines copy blanks to every posi-
+ tion in the window, clearing the screen.
+
+ The <STRONG>clear</STRONG> and <STRONG>wclear</STRONG> routines are like <STRONG>erase</STRONG> and <STRONG>werase</STRONG>,
+ but they also call <STRONG>clearok</STRONG>, so that the screen is cleared
+ completely on the next call to <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> for that window
+ and repainted from scratch.
+
+ The <STRONG>clrtobot</STRONG> and <STRONG>wclrtobot</STRONG> 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.
+
+ The <STRONG>clrtoeol</STRONG> and <STRONG>wclrtoeol</STRONG> routines erase the current line
+ to the right of the cursor, inclusive, to the end of the
+ current line.
+
+ Blanks created by erasure have the current background ren-
+ dition (as set by <STRONG>wbkgdset</STRONG>) merged into them.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ All routines return the integer <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. The SVr4.0 manual
+ says "or a non-negative integer if <STRONG>immedok</STRONG> is set", but
+ this appears to be an error.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
+ Note that <STRONG>erase</STRONG>, <STRONG>werase</STRONG>, <STRONG>clear</STRONG>, <STRONG>wclear</STRONG>, <STRONG>clrtobot</STRONG>, and <STRONG>clr-</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>toeol</STRONG> may be macros.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
+ Issue 4. The standard specifies that they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on
+ failure, but specifies no error conditions.
+
+ Some historic curses implementations had, as an undocu-
+ mented feature, the ability to do the equivalent of
+ <STRONG>clearok(...,</STRONG> <STRONG>1)</STRONG> by saying <STRONG>touchwin(stdscr)</STRONG> or
+ <STRONG>clear(stdscr)</STRONG>. This will not work under ncurses.
