curs_getyx(3X)                   UNIX System V                   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.
