getyx, getparyx, getbegyx, getmaxyx 

The getyx set of routines is used to get positional information for a
window.

Syntax 

     #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);

Parameters 

win                   A pointer to the window from which to get
                      positional information.

x                     The integer in which to place x coordinate position
                      of cursor.

y                     The integer in which to place y coordinate position
                      of cursor.

Return Values 

None

Description 

The getyx() routine returns the x and y coordinates of the cursor in win.
The getparyx() routine returns the beginning coordinates of win relative
to its parent window.  If win is not a subwindow, getparyx() sets x and y 
to -1.  The getbegyx() routine returns the beginning coordinates of win 
relative to the screen.  The getmaxyx() routine returns the size of
window win.


NOTE  These routines are all macros.  An ampersand (&) before the y and x 
      variables is not necessary.


Implementation Considerations 

The getyx() routine is identical to XPG/3.  The getparyx(), getbegyx(),
and getmaxyx() routines are UNIX System V implementations.

Portability 

The getyx() routine conforms to HP-UX, UNIX System V, and XPG/3.  The
getparyx(), getbegyx(), and getmaxyx() routines conform to UNIX System V.
