</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
       The <STRONG>getyx</STRONG> macro places the current cursor position of the given  window
       in the two integer variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.

       If  <EM>win</EM>  is  a  subwindow,  the  <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG>  macro  places  the beginning
       coordinates of the subwindow relative to the  parent  window  into  two
       integer variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.  Otherwise, <STRONG>-1</STRONG> is placed into <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.

       Like  <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>,  the  <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>  and  <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>  macros  store  the  current
       beginning coordinates and size of the specified window.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
       The return values of these macros are undefined (i.e., they should  not
       be used as the right-hand side of assignment statements).


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
       All  of these interfaces are macros.  A "<STRONG>&amp;</STRONG>" is not necessary before the
       variables <EM>y</EM> and <EM>x</EM>.


</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
       The <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG> macros are described in  the
       XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.

       This  implementation also provides functions <STRONG>getbegx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getbegy</STRONG>, <STRONG>getcurx</STRONG>,
       <STRONG>getcury</STRONG>, <STRONG>getmaxx</STRONG>, <STRONG>getmaxy</STRONG>, <STRONG>getparx</STRONG> and <STRONG>getpary</STRONG> for  compatibility  with
       older versions of curses.

       Although  X/Open  Curses  does  not  address this, many implementations
       provide members of the WINDOW structure containing values corresponding
       to  these  macros.  For best portability, do not rely on using the data
       in WINDOW, since some implementations make WINDOW opaque (do not  allow
       direct use of its members).

       Besides the problem of opaque structures, the data stored in like-named
       members may not have like-values  in  different  implementations.   For
       example,  the  WINDOW._maxx and WINDOW._maxy values in ncurses have (at
       least  since  release  1.8.1)  differed  by   one   from   some   other
       implementations.   The  difference  is  hidden  by  means  of the macro
       <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>.
