curs_delch(3CURSES) Curses Library Functions curs_delch(3CURSES)NAME
curs_delch, delch, wdelch, mvdelch, mvwdelch - delete character under cursor in a curses window
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
#include <curses.h>
int delch(void);
int wdelch(WINDOW *win);
int mvdelch(int y, int x);
int mvwdelch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);
DESCRIPTION
With these routines the character under the cursor in the window is deleted; all characters to the right of the cursor on the same line are
moved to the left one position and the last character on the line is filled with a blank. The cursor position does not change (after moving
to y, x, if specified). This does not imply use of the hardware delete character feature.
RETURN VALUES
All routines return the integer ERR upon failure and an integer value other than ERR upon successful completion.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
