these functions return an integer,
or \fBERR\fP if the window parameter is null.
.SH NOTES
-All of these interfaces are provided as macros and functions.
-The macros are suppressed (and only the functions provided)
-when \fB\%NCURSES_OPAQUE\fP is defined.
-The standard forms such as \fB\%getyx\fP must be implemented as macros,
-and (in this implementation) are defined in terms of the functions
-described here,
-to avoid reliance on internal details of the \fB\%WINDOW\fP structure.

.SH PORTABILITY
These functions were supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
None of those implementations checked the window parameter.
