65 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
66 The <STRONG>getyx</STRONG> macro places the current cursor position of the
67 given window in the two integer variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.
69 If <EM>win</EM> is a subwindow, the <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG> macro places the
70 beginning coordinates of the subwindow relative to the
71 parent window into two integer variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>. Other-
72 wise, <STRONG>-1</STRONG> is placed into <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.
74 Like <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, the <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> macros store the
75 current beginning coordinates and size of the specified
80 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
81 The return values of these macros are undefined (i.e.,
82 they should not be used as the right-hand side of assign-
88 All of these interfaces are macros. A "<STRONG>&</STRONG>" is not neces-
89 sary before the variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.
93 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
94 The <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> macros are
95 described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
97 This implementation also provides <STRONG>getbegx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegy</STRONG>,
98 <STRONG>getcurx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getcury</STRONG>, <STRONG>getmaxx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getmaxy</STRONG>, <STRONG>getparx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getpary</STRONG>
99 for compatibility with older versions of curses. X/Open
100 does not define a corresponding <STRONG>getcuryx</STRONG> function, though
101 that would be needed to make references to the WINDOW
