void getbegyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);
void getmaxyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);
void getparyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);
void getyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);
DESCRIPTION
The getyx() macro stores the current cursor position of the specified
window in x and y.
The getparyx() macro stores the x and y coordinates (relative to the
parent window) of the specified window's origin (upper-left corner).
If win does not point to a subwindow, x and y are set to −1.
The getbegyx() macro stores the x and y coordinates of the specified
window's origin (upper-left corner).
The getmaxyx() macro stores the numbers of rows in the specified window
in y and the number of columns in x.
PARAMETERS
win Is a pointer to a window.
y stores the y coordinate for the cursor or origin. The get‐
maxyx() macro uses it to store the number of rows in the win‐
dow.
x stores the x coordinate for the cursor or origin. The get‐
maxyx() macro uses it to store the number of columns in the
window.
RETURN VALUES
These macros do not return a value.
ERRORS
