+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions and macros locate and position cursors and windows.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getcury
+and
+.Fn getcurx
+functions get the current row and column positions, respectively, of the cursor in
+the window
+.Fa win .
+The
+.Fn getyx
+macro sets the values of
+.Fa y
+and
+.Fa x
+to the current row and column positions of the cursor in the window
+.Fa win .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getsyx
+macro sets the values of
+.Fa y
+and
+.Fa x
+of the current window if
+.Fn is_leaveok
+is false, otherwise \-1, \-1.
+The
+.Fn setsyx
+macro sets the row and column positions, respectively, of the cursor in the
+current window to the values of
+.Fa y
+and
+.Fa x .
+If both
+.Fa y
+and
+.Fa x
+are both \-1 then
+.Fn leaveok
+is set.
+.Pp
+The origin row and columns of a window
+.Fa win
+can be
+determined by calling the
+.Fn getbegy
+and
+.Fn getbegx
+functions, respectively, and the maximum row and column for the window can be
+found by calling the functions
+.Fn getmaxy
+and
+.Fn getmaxx ,
+respectively.
+The
+.Fn getbegyx
+and
+.Fn getmaxyx
+macros set the values of
+.Fa y
+and
+.Fa x
+to the origin and maximum row and column positions, respectively, for the window
+.Fa win .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getpary
+and
+.Fn getparx
+functions return the row and column position of the given subwindow relative to
+the window's parent.
+The macro
+.Fn getparyx
+sets the values of
+.Fa y
+and
+.Fa x
+to the origin of the subwindow relative to the window's parent.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn move
+function positions the cursor on the current window at the position given by
+.Fa y ,
+.Fa x .
+The cursor position is not changed on the screen until the next
+.Fn refresh .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn wmove
+function is the same as the
+.Fn move
+function, excepting that the cursor is moved in the window specified by
+.Fa win .
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn mvcur
+moves the cursor to
+.Fa y ,
+.Fa x
+on the screen.
+The arguments
+.Fa oldy ,
+.Fa oldx
+define the previous cursor position for terminals that do not support
+absolute cursor motions.
+The curses library may optimise the cursor motion based on these values.
+If the
+.Fn mvcur
+succeeds then the curses internal structures are updated with the new
+position of the cursor.
+If the destination arguments for
+.Fn mvcur
+exceed the terminal bounds an error will be returned and the cursor
+position will be unchanged.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn wcursyncup
+function sets the cursor positions of all ancestors of
+.Fa win
+to that of
+.Fa win .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Functions returning pointers will return
+.Dv NULL
+if an error is detected.
+The functions that return an int will return one of the following
+values:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width ERR -compact
+.It Er OK
+The function completed successfully.
+.It Er ERR
+An error occurred in the function.

+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr curses_refresh 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nx
+Curses library complies with the X/Open Curses specification, part of
+the Single Unix Specification.
+The
+.Fn getbegx ,
+.Fn getbegy ,
+.Fn getcurx ,
+.Fn getcury ,
+.Fn getmaxx ,
+.Fn getmaxy ,
+.Fn getparx ,
+and
+.Fn getpary
+functions are extensions.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The Curses package appeared in
+.Bx 4.0 .
+The
+.Fn getsyx
+and
+.Fn setsyx
+functions are
+.Em ncurses
+extensions to the Curses library and were added in
+.Nx 8.0 .
