\fBgetyx\fR,
\fBgetparyx\fR,
\fBgetbegyx\fR,
\fBgetmaxyx\fR - get \fBcurses\fR cursor and window coordinates
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
-
+.sp
\fBvoid getyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);\fR
.br
\fBvoid getparyx(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBgetyx\fR macro places the current cursor position of the given window in
the two integer variables \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR.
-
+.PP
If \fIwin\fR is a subwindow, the \fBgetparyx\fR macro places the beginning
coordinates of the subwindow relative to the parent window into two integer
variables \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR.
Otherwise, \fB-1\fR is placed into \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR.
-
+.PP
Like \fBgetyx\fR, the \fBgetbegyx\fR and \fBgetmaxyx\fR macros store
the current beginning coordinates and size of the specified window.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-The return values of these macros are undefined (\fIi\fR.\fIe\fR.,
+The return values of these macros are undefined (i.e.,
they should not be used as the right-hand side of assignment statements).
.SH NOTES
All of these interfaces are macros.
\fBgetparyx\fR,
\fBgetbegyx\fR and
\fBgetmaxyx\fR
-functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
+macros are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
.PP
This implementation also provides
\fBgetbegx\fR,
\fBgetpary\fR
for compatibility with older versions of curses.
