curs_getyx(3) UNIX Programmer's Manual curs_getyx(3)NAME
getyx, getparyx, getbegyx, getmaxyx - get curses cursor and
window coordinates
SYNOPSIS
#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
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 begin-
ning 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 win-
dow.
RETURN VALUE
The return values of these macros are undefined (i.e., they
should not be used as the right-hand side of assignment
statements).
NOTES
All of these interfaces are macros. A "&" is not necessary
before the variables y and x.
PORTABILITY
The getyx, getparyx, getbegyx and getmaxyx functions are
described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
This implementation also provides getbegx, getbegy, getcurx,
getcury, getmaxx, getmaxy, getparx and getpary for compati-
bility with older versions of curses.
