mv(3curses)
mv --
pointer page for functions with mv prefix
Synopsis
cc [options] file -lcurses
#include <curses.h>
Description
Most cases in which a Curses function has the mv prefix
indicate that the function takes
y
and
x
arguments and moves the cursor to that address as though
move(3curses)
were first called. (The corresponding functions without the mv prefix
operate at the cursor position.)
The
mvcur(3curses),
mvderwin(3curses)
and
mvwin(3curses)
functions are exceptions to this rule, in that mv is not a prefix with
the usual meaning and there are no corresponding functions without the
mv prefix. These functions have entries under their own names.
In the
mvprintw(3curses)
and
mvscanw(3curses)
functions, mv is a prefix with the usual meaning, but the functions have
entries under their own names because the mv function is the first
function in the family of functions in alphabetical order.
The mv prefix is combined with a w prefix to produce Curses
functions beginning with mvw.
The mv and mvw functions are discussed together with the
corresponding functions that do not have these prefixes. They are found on
the following entries:
