NAME
move, wmove - move curses window cursor
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h> int move(int y, int x); int wmove(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);
DESCRIPTION
These routines move the cursor associated with the window to line y and column x. This routine does not move the physical cursor of the terminal until refresh is called. The position specified is relative to the upper left-hand corner of the window, which is (0,0).
RETURN VALUE
These routines return ERR upon failure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful completion.
NOTES
Note that move may be a macro.
PORTABILITY
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. The standard specifies that if (y,x) is within a multi-column charac- ter, the cursor is moved to the first column of that character; however, this implementation does not yet support the extended-level XSI multibyte characters.
