Curses Library Functions                      cursgetyx(3CURSES)



NAME
     cursgetyx, getyx, getparyx, getbegyx, getmaxyx - get curses
     cursor and window coordinates

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
     #include 

     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
     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 begin-
     ning  coordinates  of  the  subwindow relative to the parent
     window are placed into two integer variables, y and x.  Oth-
     erwise, -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 VALUES
     The return values of these macros are  undefined  (that  is,
     they should not be used as the right-hand side of assignment
     statements).
