curs_move.3x - Man Page
move cursor in a curses window
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(3X) 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 the integer ERR upon failure and an OK (SVr4 specifies only βan integer value other than ERRβ) upon successful completion.
Specifically, they return an error if the window pointer is null, or if the position is outside the window.
Notes
Note that move may be a macro.
Portability
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
