<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> - get <STRONG>curses</STRONG> cursor
and window coordinates
</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>
<STRONG>void</STRONG> <STRONG>getyx(WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*win,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>y,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>x);</STRONG>
<STRONG>void</STRONG> <STRONG>getparyx(WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*win,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>y,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>x);</STRONG>
<STRONG>void</STRONG> <STRONG>getbegyx(WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*win,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>y,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>x);</STRONG>
<STRONG>void</STRONG> <STRONG>getmaxyx(WINDOW</STRONG> <STRONG>*win,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>y,</STRONG> <STRONG>int</STRONG> <STRONG>x);</STRONG>
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <STRONG>getyx</STRONG> macro places the current cursor position of the
given window in the two integer variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.
If <EM>win</EM> is a subwindow, the <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG> macro places the
beginning coordinates of the subwindow relative to the
parent window into two integer variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>. Other-
wise, <STRONG>-1</STRONG> is placed into <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.
Like <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, the <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> macros store the
current beginning coordinates and size of the specified
window.
</PRE>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
The return values of these macros are undefined (i.e.,
they should not be used as the right-hand side of assign-
ment statements).
</PRE>
<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
All of these interfaces are macros. A "<STRONG>&</STRONG>" is not neces-
sary before the variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.
</PRE>
<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
The <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> functions are
described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
This implementation also provides <STRONG>getbegx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegy</STRONG>,
<STRONG>getcurx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getcury</STRONG>, <STRONG>getmaxx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getmaxy</STRONG>, <STRONG>getparx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getpary</STRONG>
for compatibility with older versions of curses.
