+\fB\%getyx\fP,
+\fB\%getparyx\fP,
+\fB\%getbegyx\fP and
+\fB\%getmaxyx\fP
+macros are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4.
+.PP
+This implementation also provides functions
+\fB\%getbegx\fP,
+\fB\%getbegy\fP,
+\fB\%getcurx\fP,
+\fB\%getcury\fP,
+\fB\%getmaxx\fP,
+\fB\%getmaxy\fP,
+\fB\%getparx\fP and
+\fB\%getpary\fP
+for compatibility with older versions of \fIcurses\fP;
+see \fB\%curs_legacy\fP(3X).
+.PP
+Although X/Open Curses does not address this,
+many implementations provide members of the \fB\%WINDOW\fP structure
+containing values corresponding to these macros.
+For best portability, do not rely on using the data in \fB\%WINDOW\fP,
+since some implementations make \fB\%WINDOW\fP opaque (do not allow
+direct use of its members).
