curs_getyx(3)curs_getyx(3)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 stan‐
dards 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 coordi‐
nates 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 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).
