NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     curs_getyx:  getyx, getparyx, getbegyx, getmaxyx -	get curses cursor and
     window coordinates

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <curses.h>

     void getyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int	x);

     void getparyx(WINDOW *win,	int y, int x);
     void getbegyx(WINDOW *win,	int y, int x);

     void getmaxyx(WINDOW *win,	int y, int x);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     With the getyx macro, the cursor position of the window is	placed in the
     two integer variables y and x.

     With the getparyx macro, if win is	a subwindow, the beginning coordinates
     of	the subwindow relative to the parent window are	placed into two
     integer variables,	y and x.  Otherwise, -1	is placed into y and x.

     Like getyx, the getbegyx and getmaxyx macros store	the current beginning
     coordinates and size of the specified window.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

     The return	values of these	macros are undefined (i.e., they should	not be
     used as the right-hand side of assignment statements).

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     The header	file <curses.h>	automatically includes the header files
     <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

     Note that all of these interfaces are macros and that "&" is not
     necessary before the variables y and x.
