Deleting Structure Elements


For a list of all Structure functions and related topics, see Structures.

Some structure editing commands can delete a range of structure elements. When elements are deleted, the element pointer is set to the position immediately preceding the first element deleted. The offset of each element after those deleted decreases by one for each element deleted. Deleting element zero is effectively a no-op. A deletion operation includes the elements at the boundaries of the deletion range.
