SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ] c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ] #include <curses.h> 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 getmaxyx() macro uses it to store the number of rows in the window. x stores the x coordinate for the cursor or origin. The getmaxyx() macro uses it to store the number of columns in the window.
