mv(3X) mv(3X)
NAME
mv - pointer page for functions with mv prefix
DESCRIPTION
Most cases in which a Curses function has the mv prefix indicate that
the function takes y and x arguments and moves the cursor to that
address as though move() were first called. (The corresponding func-
tions without the mv prefix operate at the cursor position.)
The mvcur(), mvderwin() and mvwin() functions are exceptions to this
rule, in that mv is not a prefix with the usual meaning and there are
no corresponding functions without the mv prefix. These functions have
entries under their own names.
In the mvprintw() and mvscanw() functions, mv is a prefix with the
usual meaning, but the functions have entries under their own names
because the mv function is the first function in the family of func-
tions in alphabetical order.
The mv prefix is combined with a w prefix to produce Curses functions
beginning with mvw.
The mv and mvw functions are discussed together with the corresponding
functions that do not have these prefixes. They are found on the fol-
lowing entries:
