Change buffer contents

delete_char

  void delete_char();

Removes the current character, does nothing at the end of file or if the buffer is empty. Obviously the buffer number of lines is updated if the current character was newline.

replace_char

    void replace_char(int newchar);

Replaces the current character by newchar. At the end of file or if the file is empty the new character is inserted at the current position and the buffer size is incremented. Obviously the number of lines of the buffer is updated if one of the current or the new character is newline. Its definition is equivalent to:

insert_char

  void insert_char(int newchar);

Inserts newchar before the current character and goes to the next position, therefore the current character remains the same. Obviously the number of lines of the buffer is updated if the inserted character is newline.

insert_string

  void insert_string(char * str);

Inserts all the str chars, except the final 0, as each character being inserted by insert\_char:

wprintf

   int wprintf(char * format, ...);

wprintf is equivalent to printf except that the output characters are inserted in the current window starting at the current position. See also display\_message (§7.3.12 page ).

See also the following functions: global\_replace(), (§7.3.5 page ), insert\_file() (§7.3.8 page ), read\_file() (§7.3.8 page ) and kill\_current\_buffer() (§7.3.8 page ).
