- These routines move the cursor associated with the window to line <EM>y</EM> and
- column <EM>x</EM>. This routine does not move the physical cursor of the
- terminal until <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></STRONG> is called. The position specified is
- relative to the upper left-hand corner of the window, which is (0,0).
+ <STRONG>wmove</STRONG> relocates the cursor associated with the <EM>curses</EM> window <EM>win</EM> to
+ line <EM>y</EM> and column <EM>x</EM>. The terminal's cursor does not move until
+ <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></STRONG> is called. The position (<EM>x</EM>, <EM>y</EM>) is relative to the upper

- These routines return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon failure and an <STRONG>OK</STRONG> (SVr4
- specifies only "an integer value other than <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>") upon successful
- completion.
+ These functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success and <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on failure.
- Specifically, they return an error if the window pointer is null, or if
- the position is outside the window.
+ They fail if the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries.
+
+ <STRONG>wmove</STRONG> fails if its <EM>WINDOW</EM> pointer argument is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.
