NAME

       uremove - Removes a character from a string. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int uremove(char *s, int index);

DESCRIPTION

       Removes  the character at the specified `index' within the string, sliding the rest of the
       data back to fill the gap. If `index' is negative, it counts backward from the end of  the
       string. Example:

          int length_in_bytes = ustrsizez(text_string);
          ...
          length_in_bytes -= uremove(text_string, -1);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the number of bytes by which the trailing part of the string was moved.
