curs_move 3x

NAME

       move, wmove - move curses window cursor

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       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).

RETURN VALUE

       These routines return ERR upon failure and OK (SVr4 speci-
       fies only "an integer value other than ERR") upon success-
       ful completion.

NOTES

       Note that move may be a macro.

PORTABILITY

       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 multibyte
       characters.
