.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
-
+.sp
\fBint move(int y, int x);\fR
.br
\fBint wmove(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);\fR
These routines return \fBERR\fR upon failure and OK (SVr4
specifies only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
completion.
+.PP
+Specifically, they return an error
+if the window pointer is null, or
+if the position is outside the window.
.SH NOTES
Note that \fBmove\fR may be a macro.
.SH 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 multi-byte characters.
+These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
