Simple input and output

move

SYNOPSIS

   #include <ocurses.h>
   
   int move(y, x)
   int y, x;

NOTES

move positions the cursor for stdscr at the given row y and the given column x.
Notice that move takes the y coordinate before the x coordinate. The upper left-hand coordinates for stdscr are (0,0), the lower right-hand (LINES - 1, COLS - 1). See ``The routines initscr, refresh, endwin'' for more information.
move may be combined with the write functions to form
- mvaddch (y, x, ch), which moves to a given position and prints a character
- mvaddstr (y, x, str), which moves to a given position and prints a string of characters
- mvprintw (y, x, fmt [,arg...]), which moves to a given position and prints a formatted string.
move returns COK on success and ERR on error. Trying to move to a screen position of less than (0,0) or more than (LINES - 1, COLS - 1) causes an error.
move is a macro.

EXAMPLE

   #include <ocurses.h>
   
   main()
   {
      initscr();
      addstr("Cursor should be here --> if move() works.");
      printw("\n\n\nPress <Return> to end test.");
      move(0,25);
      refresh();
      getch();     /* Gets <Return>; discussed below. */
      endwin();
   }

Here's the output generated by running this program:

   Cursor should be here -->[]if move() works.
   
   
   Press <Return> to end test.

After you press RETURN, the screen looks like this:

   Cursor should be here --> if move() works.
   
   
   Press <Return> to end test.
   $[]

See ``The scatter program'' for another example using move.
