The tgoto routine is used to decode the cursor motion values (interface to termcap library).
Syntax |
 |
#include <curses.h>
char *tgoto (char *cap, int col, int row);
|
Parameters |
|
- cap
The pointer to the termcap capability for cursor motion.
- col
The column placement of the new cursor.
- row
The row placement of the new cursor.
Return Values |
|
On success, a pointer to the decoded cursor addressing
string is returned; otherwise, a null pointer is
returned.
Description |
|
The tgoto() routine decodes cursor values returned
from tgetstr(). A pointer to a cursor addressing
string is returned that, when sent to the terminal
with tputs(), moves the cursor to the new location.
The tgoto() routine is included for compatibility
purposes with programs that use the termcap library.
New programs should use terminfo routines.
