# 8.12 Cursor and Window Coordinates

- `int move(y, x)`
  `int wmove(win, y, x)`
  move() moves the cursor from , wmove(win) the cursor from window `win`. For input/output functions, additional macros are defined which move the cursor before the specified function is called.
- `int curs_set(bf)`
  This will turn the cursor visibility on or off, if the terminal has this capability.
- `void getyx(win, y, x)`
  getyx(...) will return the current cursor position. (Note: this is a macro.)
- `void getparyx(win, y, x)`
  When `win` is a sub window, getparyx(...) will store the window coordinates relative to the parent window in `y` and `x`. Otherwise `y` and `x` are -1. (Note: not implemented yet.)
- `void getbegyx(win, y, x)`
  `void getmaxyx(win, y, x)`
  `int getmaxx(win)`
  `int getmaxy(win)`
  Store the begin and size coordinates for `win` in `y` and `x`.
- `int getsyx(int y, int x)`
  `int setsyx(int y, int x)`
  Store the virtual screen cursor in `y` and `x` or set this cursor. When `y` and `x` are -1 and you call getsyx(...) leaveok will be set.
