curs_getyx(3X)                                               curs_getyx(3X)


   NAME
         cursgetyx:  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
         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 beginning
         coordinates of the subwindow relative to the parent window are placed
         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
         The return values of these macros are undefined (i.e., they should
         not be used as the right-hand side of assignment statements).

   NOTES
         The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
         <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

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