.TH curs_getyx 3X "" .SH NAME \fBgetyx\fR, \fBgetparyx\fR, \fBgetbegyx\fR, \fBgetmaxyx\fR - get \fBcurses\fR cursor and window coordinates .SH SYNOPSIS \fB#include <curses.h>\fR \fBvoid getyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);\fR .br \fBvoid getparyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);\fR .br \fBvoid getbegyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);\fR .br \fBvoid getmaxyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);\fR .br .SH DESCRIPTION The \fBgetyx\fR macro places the current cursor position of the given window in the two integer variables \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR. If \fIwin\fR is a subwindow, the \fBgetparyx\fR macro places the beginning coordinates of the subwindow relative to the parent window into two integer variables \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR. Otherwise, \fB-1\fR is placed into \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR. Like \fBgetyx\fR, the \fBgetbegyx\fR and \fBgetmaxyx\fR macros store the current beginning coordinates and size of the specified window. .SH RETURN VALUE The return values of these macros are undefined (\fIi\fR.\fIe\fR., they should not be used as the right-hand side of assignment statements). .SH NOTES All of these interfaces are macros and that "\fB&\fR" is not necessary before the variables \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR. .SH PORTABILITY These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. .SH SEE ALSO \fBcurses\fR(3X) .\"# .\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS .\"# Local Variables: .\"# mode:nroff .\"# fill-column:79 .\"# End:
