move, wmove 

The move and wmove routines are used to move the cursor in the window.

Syntax 

     #include <curses.h>

     int move(int y, int x);
     int wmove(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);

Parameters 

win                   A pointer to the window in which the cursor is to
                      be written.

x                     The x (column) coordinate of the position of the
                      cursor in the window.

y                     The y (row) coordinate of the position of the
                      cursor in the window.

Return Values 

OK                    Successful completion.

ERR                   An error occurred.  The cursor is outside the
                      window boundary.

Description 

The move() routine moves the logical cursor (for stdscr) to the position
specified by y (row) and x (column), where the upper-left corner of the
window is row 0, column 0.  The wmove() routine performs the same action,
but moves the cursor in the window specified by win.  The physical cursor
does not move until after a call to wrefresh() or doupdate().


NOTE  The move() routine is a macro.


Implementation Considerations 

Identical to XPG/3
