NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       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]

       The getyx macro places the current cursor position of  the
       given window in the two integer variables y and x.

       If  win  is  a  subwindow,  the  getparyx macro places the
       beginning coordinates of the  subwindow  relative  to  the
       parent  window 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]

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

PORTABILITY    [Toc]    [Back]

       These  functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
       Issue 4.
