.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
These routines move the cursor associated with the window to line \fIy\fP and
column \fIx\fP.
This routine does not move the physical cursor of the terminal
until \fB\%refresh\fP(3NCURSES) is called.
The position specified is relative to the upper
left-hand corner of the window, which is (0,0).
.SH RETURN VALUE
These routines return the integer \fBERR\fP upon failure and an \fBOK\fP
(SVr4 specifies only
\*(``an integer value other than \fBERR\fP\*('')
upon successful completion.
.PP
Specifically, they return an error
if the window pointer is null, or
if the position is outside the window.
.SH NOTES
Note that \fBmove\fP may be a macro.
.SH PORTABILITY
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
