curs_getyx(3CURSES) Curses Library Functions curs_getyx(3CURSES)NAME
curs_getyx, getyx, getparyx, getbegyx, getmaxyx - get curses cursor and
window coordinates
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
#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 coordi‐
nates 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 VALUES
The return values of these macros are undefined (that is, they should
not be used as the right-hand side of assignment statements).
