curs_legacy(3X) curs_legacy(3X)
curs_legacy - get curses cursor and window coordinates, attributes
#include <curses.h>
int getattrs(WINDOW *win);
int getbegx(WINDOW *win);
int getbegy(WINDOW *win);
int getcurx(WINDOW *win);
int getcury(WINDOW *win);
int getmaxx(WINDOW *win);
int getmaxy(WINDOW *win);
int getparx(WINDOW *win);
int getpary(WINDOW *win);
These legacy functions are simpler to use than the X/Open Curses
functions:
· The getattrs function returns the same attribute data as
wattr_get.
However, getattrs returns an integer (actually a chtype), while
wattr_get returns the current color pair in a separate parameter.
In the wide-character library configuration, color pairs may not
fit into a chtype, so wattr_get is the only way to obtain the
color information.
Because getattrs returns the attributes in a single parameter, it
would not be possible for an application to distinguish that from
ERR (a -1). If the window parameter is null, getattrs returns
A_NORMAL (zero).
· The getbegy and getbegx functions return the same data as
getbegyx.
· The getcury and getcurx functions return the same data as getyx.
· The getmaxy and getmaxx functions return the same data as
getmaxyx.
· The getpary and getparx functions return the same data as
getparyx.
Except as noted, these functions return an integer, or ERR if the
window parameter is null.
All of these interfaces are provided as macros and functions. The
macros are suppressed (and only the functions provided) when
NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined. The standard forms such as getyx must be
implemented as macros, and (in this implementation) are defined in
terms of the functions described here, to avoid reliance on internal
details of the WINDOW structure.
These functions were supported on Version 7, BSD or System V
implementations. None of those implementations checked the window
parameter.
The getattrs function and macro are defined to return a (signed)
integer for compatibility with those implementations although an
unsigned type would have been more appropriate.
