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
76 window.

81 The return values of these macros are undefined (i.e.,
82 they should not be used as the right-hand side of assign-
83 ment statements).
86 </PRE>
87 <H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
88 All of these interfaces are macros. A "<STRONG>&amp;</STRONG>" is not neces-
89 sary before the variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.

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 functions <STRONG>getbegx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getb-</STRONG>
98 <STRONG>egy</STRONG>, <STRONG>getcurx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getcury</STRONG>, <STRONG>getmaxx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getmaxy</STRONG>, <STRONG>getparx</STRONG> and <STRONG>get-</STRONG>
99 <STRONG>pary</STRONG> for compatibility with older versions of curses.
101 Although X/Open Curses does not address this, many imple-
102 mentations provide members of the WINDOW structure con-
103 taining values corresponding to these macros. For best
104 portability, do not rely on using the data in WINDOW,
105 since some implementations make WINDOW opaque (do not
106 allow direct use of its members).
108 Besides the problem of opaque structures, the data stored
109 in like-named members may not have like-values in differ-
110 ent implementations. For example, the WINDOW._maxx and
111 WINDOW._maxy values in ncurses have (at least since
112 release 1.8.1) differed by one from some other implementa-
113 tions. The difference is hidden by means of the macro
114 <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>.
