move(3ncurses)

NAME

   move, wmove - move curses window cursor

SYNOPSIS

   #include <curses.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

   These routines move the cursor associated with the window to line y and
   column x.  This routine does  not  move  the  physical  cursor  of  the
   terminal  until  refresh is called.  The position specified is relative
   to the upper left-hand corner of the window, which is (0,0).

RETURN VALUE

   These routines return ERR upon failure and OK (SVr4 specifies only  "an
   integer value other than ERR") upon successful completion.

   Specifically, they return an error if the window pointer is null, or if
   the position is outside the window.

NOTES

   Note that move may be a macro.

PORTABILITY

   These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
