24              window.

DESCRIPTION

35       The move() function moves the logical cursor (for stdscr) to the  posi‐
36       tion specified by y (row) and x (column), where the upper  left  corner
37       of  the  window  is row 0, column 0.  The wmove() function performs the
38       same action, but moves the cursor  in the window specified by win.  The
39       physical  cursor  will not move until after a call to refresh(3XCURSES)
40       or  doupdate(3XCURSES).
