These legacy functions are simpler to use than the X/Open Curses
functions:
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> function returns the same attribute data as <STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG>.
However, <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> returns an integer (actually a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>), while
<STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG> returns the current color pair in a separate parameter.
In the wide-character library configuration, color pairs may not
fit into a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, so <STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG> is the only way to obtain the color
information.
Because <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> returns the attributes in a single parameter, it
would not be possible for an application to distinguish that from
<STRONG>ERR</STRONG> (a <EM>-1</EM>). If the window parameter is null, <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> returns
<STRONG>A_NORMAL</STRONG> (zero).
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getbegy</STRONG> and <STRONG>getbegx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getcury</STRONG> and <STRONG>getcurx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getmaxy</STRONG> and <STRONG>getmaxx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getpary</STRONG> and <STRONG>getparx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG>.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
Except as noted, these functions return an integer, or <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if the
window parameter is null.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
All of these interfaces are provided as macros and functions. The
macros are suppressed (and only the functions provided) when
<STRONG>NCURSES_OPAQUE</STRONG> is defined. The standard forms such as <STRONG>getyx</STRONG> must be
implemented as macros, and (in this implementation) are defined in
terms of the functions described here, to avoid reliance on internal
details of the WINDOW structure.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
These functions were supported on Version 7, BSD or System V
implementations. None of those implementations checked the window
parameter.
The <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> function and macro are defined to return a (signed)
integer for compatibility with those implementations although an
unsigned type would have been more appropriate.
