curs_move(3X)                                              curs_move(3X)

NAME         top

       move, wmove - move curses window cursor

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <curses.h>

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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(3X) is called.  The position speci‐
       fied is relative to the upper left-hand  corner  of  the  window,
       which is (0,0).

RETURN VALUE         top

       These routines return ERR upon failure and OK (SVr4 specifies on‐
       ly "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         top

       Note that move may be a macro.

PORTABILITY         top

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