int mvcur(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 appropri‐
ate 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 posi‐
tion.
RETURN VALUES
On success, the mvcur() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.
ERRORS
None.
