move, wmove - move curses window cursor |
#include <curses.h> int move(int y, int x); |
These routines move the cursor associated with the window to line y and column x. This routine does not move the physical cursor of the terminal until refresh is called. The position specified is relative to the upper left-hand corner of the window, which is (0,0). |
These routines return ERR upon failure and OK (SVr4 specifies only "an integer value other than ERR") upon successful completion. |
Note that move may be a macro. |
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. The standard specifies that if (y,x) is within a multi-column character, the cursor is moved to the first column of that character; however, this implementation does not yet support the extended-level XSI multi-byte characters. |
