.TH move 3NCURSES 2024-04-27 "ncurses 6.5" "Library calls"
.SH NAME
\fB\%move\fP,
\fB\%wmove\fP \-
move cursor in a \fIcurses\fR window
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fB#include <curses.h>
.PP
\fBint move(int \fIy\fP, int \fIx\fP);
\fBint wmove(WINDOW *\fIwin\fP, int \fIy\fP, int \fIx\fP);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B \%wmove
relocates the cursor associated with the
.I curses
window
.I win
to line
.I y
and column
.IR x .
The terminal's cursor does not move until \fB\%refresh\fP(3NCURSES) is called.
The position
.RI ( y ,
.IR x )
is relative to the upper left-hand corner of the window,
which has coordinates
(0,\ 0).
\fB\%ncurses\fP(3NCURSES) describes the
.B \%move
variant of this function.
.SH RETURN VALUE
These functions return
.B OK
on success and
.B ERR
on failure.
.PP
They fail if the position
.RI ( y ,
.IR x )
is outside the window boundaries.
.PP
.B \%wmove
fails if its
.I \%WINDOW
pointer argument is
.BR NULL .
.SH NOTES
.B \%move
may be implemented as a macro.
.SH PORTABILITY
X/Open Curses,
Issue 4 describes these functions.
.SH SEE ALSO
\fB\%ncurses\fP(3NCURSES),
