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

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ncurses.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 beginning coordi‐
       nates 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 begin‐
       ning coordinates and size of the specified window.

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 and that "&" is not necessary before
       the variables y and x.

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