       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 );

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Interfaces documented on this reference  page  conform  to
       industry standards as follows:

       getparyx, getbegyx, getmaxyx, getyx:  XCURSES4.2

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information
 about industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The getyx macro places the cursor position of  the  window
       into 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  the  two integer variables y and x.
       Otherwise; the macro places -1 into y and x.

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

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

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

       All  of  these  interfaces are macros, and applications do
       not have to specify & before the variables y and x.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

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