DESCRIPTION

-       The getbegy and getbegx functions return the same data as getbegyx.
+       These  legacy functions are simpler to use than the X/Open Curses func-
+       tions:
 
-       The getcury and getcurx functions return the same data as getyx.
+       o   The getattrs function returns the same attribute data as wattr_get.
 
-       The getmaxy and getmaxx functions return the same data as getmaxyx.
+           However, getattrs returns an integer  (actually  a  chtype),  while
+           wattr_get  returns  the current color pair in a separate parameter.
+           In the wide-character library configuration, color  pairs  may  not
+           fit into a chtype, so wattr_get is the only way to obtain the color
+           information.
 
-       The getpary and getparx functions return the same data as getparyx.
+           Because getattrs returns the attributes in a single  parameter,  it
+           would  not  be possible for an application to distinguish that from
+           ERR (a -1).  If the window  parameter  is  null,  getattrs  returns
+           A_NORMAL (zero).
+
+       o   The getbegy and getbegx functions return the same data as getbegyx.

+       o   The getcury and getcurx functions return the same data as getyx.
+
+       o   The getmaxy and getmaxx functions return the same data as getmaxyx.
+
+       o   The getpary and getparx functions return the same data as getparyx.

RETURN VALUE

-       These  functions  return  an integer, or ERR if the window parameter is
-       null.
+       Except  as noted, these functions return an integer, or ERR if the win-
+       dow parameter is null.

PORTABILITY

        These  functions were supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implemen-
-       tations.
+       tations.  None of those implementations checked the window parameter.
+
+       The getattrs function and macro are defined to return a (signed)  inte-
+       ger  for  compatibility with those implementations although an unsigned
+       type would have been more appropriate.
