+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ *    Deletes bytes from the buffer by moving data in order to delete it.
+ *    The size of the buffer remains same but the tail area of the buffer
+ *    will get larger as data is deleted from the current data area.
+ *
+ *    The `n' specifies the number of bytes to delete from the current
+ *    data area.  If `n' is -1 this deletes all bytes from the data area.
+ *    This effectively moves the data from the tail area into the current
+ *    data area.  The length of the data area after this is 0 and the tail
+ *    area is larger.
+ *
+ *    Use this only for formatting.
+ *
+ *    Formatting:  SILC_STR_DELETE(int bytes)
+ *
+ * EXAMPLE

+ *    // sed 's/foo/B/', replace foo with B, deleting rest of the match from
+ *    // the buffer.  The match must be inclusive to make deleting work.
