curs_getyx(3) Library Functions Manual curs_getyx(3) NAME curs_getyx, getyx, getparyx, getbegyx, getmaxyx - Get Curses cursor and window coordinates LIBRARY Curses Library (libcurses.a, libcurses.so) 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(WIN- DOW *win, int y, int x); STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: getyx: XPG4, XPG4-UNIX getparyx, getbegyx, getmaxyx: XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about in- dustry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION The getyx macro places the cursor position of the window into the two integer variables y and x. If win is a subwindow, the getparyx macro places the beginning coordi- nates of the subwindow (relative to the parent window) into the two in- teger variables y and x. Otherwise; the macro places -1 into y and x. Like getyx, the getbegyx and getmaxyx macros store the current begin- ning coordinates and size of the specified window. NOTES The header file curses.h automatically includes the header file stdio.h. All of these interfaces are macros, and applications do not have to specify & before the variables y and x. RETURN VALUES The return values of these macros are undefined (that is, they should not be used as the right-hand side of an assignment statements).
