mvcur

The mvcur routine is used to move the cursor (interface to terminfo).

Syntax

   #include <curses.h>



   int mvcur (int oldrow, int oldcol, int newrow, int newcol);

Parameters

oldrow: The row from which cursor is to be moved.
oldcol: The column from which cursor is to be moved.
newrow: The row to which cursor is to be moved.
newcol: The column to which cursor is to be moved.

Return Values

OK: Successful completion.
ERR: An error occurred.

Description

The mvcur() routine is a low-level routine used only outside of CURSES when the program has to deal directly with the database to handle certain terminal capabilities. The use of appropriate CURSES routines is recommended in all other situations.

The mvcur() routine moves the cursor from the location specified by oldrow and oldcol to the location specified by newrow and newcol. The program must keep track of the current cursor position. All output will be sent to stdout through _putchar()

Implementation Considerations

Identical to XPG/3
