NAME
       curs_getyx, 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 );

LIBRARY
       Curses Library (libcurses)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       getparyx, getbegyx, getmaxyx, getyx:  XCURSES4.2

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry 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 coordinates of the subwindow (relative to the parent window) into the two
       integer variables y and x. Otherwise; the macro places -1 into y and x.

       Like getyx, the getbegyx and getmaxyx macros store the current beginning 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).
