int oldrow,
int oldcol,
int newrow,
int newcol);
PARAMETERS
oldrow Is the row from which cursor is to be moved.
oldcol Is the column from which cursor is to be moved.
newrow Is the row to which cursor is to be moved.
newcol Is the column to which cursor is to be moved.
DESCRIPTION
The
mvcur() function is a low-level function used only outside of
X/Open Curses when the program has to deal directly with the
terminfo database to handle certain terminal capabilities. The use of
appropriate X/Open Curses functions is recommended in all other
situations, so that X/Open Curses can track the cursor.
The
mvcur() function moves the cursor from the location specified by
oldrow and
oldcol to the location specified by
newrow and
newcol. A
program using this function must keep track of the current cursor
position.
RETURN VALUES
On success, the
mvcur() function returns
OK. Otherwise, it returns
ERR.
ERRORS
None.
