# curs_move 3x 2025-03-08 ncurses 6.5 Library calls

    curs_move(3x)                    Library calls                   curs_move(3x)

## NAME

           move, wmove - move cursor in a curses window

## SYNOPSIS

           #include <curses.h>

           int move(int y, int x);
           int wmove(WINDOW * win, int y, int x);

## DESCRIPTION

           wmove  relocates  the  cursor  associated with the curses window win to
           line y and column  x.   The  terminal's  cursor  does  not  move  until
           refresh(3x)  is  called.   The position (y, x) is relative to the upper
           left-hand corner of the window, which  has  coordinates  (0, 0).   move
           similarly moves the cursor in the stdscr window.

## RETURN VALUE

           These functions return OK on success and ERR on failure.

           They fail if the position (y, x) is outside the window boundaries.

           In ncurses, wmove fails if win is NULL.

## NOTES

           move may be implemented as a macro.

## PORTABILITY

           X/Open Curses Issue 4 describes these functions.  It specifies no error
           conditions for them.

           SVr4 describes a successful return value  only  as  "an  integer  value
           other than ERR".

## HISTORY

           4BSD (1980) introduced these functions.
