curs_getyx(3X)                                                  curs_getyx(3X)



NAME
       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
       The getyx macro places the current cursor position of the given  window
       in the two integer variables y and x.

       If  win is a subwindow, the getparyx macro places the beginning coordi-nates coordinates
       nates of the subwindow relative to the parent window 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 begin-ning beginning
       ning 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
       All  of these interfaces are macros.  A "&" is not necessary before the
       variables y and x.

PORTABILITY
       The getyx, getparyx, getbegyx and getmaxyx functions are  described  in
       the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.

       This  implementation  also provides getbegx, getbegy, getcurx, getcury,
       getmaxx, getmaxy, getparx and getpary for compatibility with older ver-sions versions
       sions of curses.
