61 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
62        The <STRONG>getyx</STRONG> macro places the current cursor position of  the
63        given window in the two integer variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.
64
65        If  <EM>win</EM>  is  a  subwindow,  the  <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG> macro places the
66        beginning coordinates of the  subwindow  relative  to  the
67        parent  window into two integer variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.  Other-
68        wise, <STRONG>-1</STRONG> is placed into <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.
69
70        Like <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, the <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG> and  <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>  macros  store  the
71        current  beginning  coordinates  and size of the specified
72        window.
73
74
75 </PRE>
76 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
77        The return values of these  macros  are  undefined  (<EM>i</EM>.<EM>e</EM>.,
78        they  should not be used as the right-hand side of assign-
79        ment statements).
80
81
82 </PRE>
83 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
84        All of these interfaces are macros.  A "<STRONG>&amp;</STRONG>" is  not  neces-
85        sary before the variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.

88 </PRE>
89 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
90        The  <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>,  <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> functions are
91        described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
92
93        This  implementation  also  provides   <STRONG>getbegx</STRONG>,   <STRONG>getbegy</STRONG>,
94        <STRONG>getcurx</STRONG>,  <STRONG>getcury</STRONG>,  <STRONG>getmaxx</STRONG>,  <STRONG>getmaxy</STRONG>, <STRONG>getparx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getpary</STRONG>
95        for compatibility with older versions of curses.
