DESCRIPTION

33       The  mvcur()  function  is  a  low-level  function used only outside of
34       X/Open Curses when the program has to deal directly with  the  terminfo
35       database to handle certain terminal capabilities.  The use of appropri‐
36       ate X/Open Curses functions is recommended in all other  situations, so
37       that X/Open Curses can track the cursor.
38
39
40       The  mvcur()  function  moves the cursor from the location specified by
41       oldrow and oldcol to the location specified by newrow and   newcol.   A
42       program using this function must keep track of the current cursor posi‐
43       tion.
44

RETURN VALUES

46       On success, the mvcur() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.
47
