curs_move 3x 2025-01-18 ncurses 6.5 Library calls

curs_move(3x)                    Library calls                   curs_move(3x)

NAME

       move, wmove - move cursor in a curses window

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       int move(int y, int x);
       int wmove(WINDOW * win, int y, int x);

DESCRIPTION

       wmove  relocates  the  cursor  associated with the curses window win to
       line y and column  x.   The  terminal's  cursor  does  not  move  until
       refresh(3x)  is  called.   The position (y, x) is relative to the upper
       left-hand  corner  of  the  window,  which  has   coordinates   (0, 0).
       ncurses(3x) describes the move variant of this function.

RETURN VALUE

       These functions return OK on success and ERR on failure.

       They fail if the position (y, x) is outside the window boundaries.

       In ncurses, wmove fails if win is NULL.

NOTES

       move may be implemented as a macro.

PORTABILITY

       X/Open Curses Issue 4 describes these functions.  It specifies no error
       conditions for them.

       SVr4 describes a successful return value  only  as  "an  integer  value
       other than ERR".

HISTORY

       4BSD (1980) curses introduced wmove.
