</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
These legacy functions are simpler to use than the X/Open <EM>curses</EM>
functions:
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> function returns the same attribute data as <STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG>.
However, <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> returns an integer (actually a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>), while
<STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG> returns the current color pair in a separate parameter.
In the wide-character library configuration, color pairs may not
fit into a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, so <STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG> is the only way to obtain the color
information.
Because <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> returns the attributes in a single parameter, it
would not be possible for an application to distinguish that from
<STRONG>ERR</STRONG> (a <EM>-1</EM>). If the window parameter is null, <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> returns
<STRONG>A_NORMAL</STRONG> (zero).
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getbegy</STRONG> and <STRONG>getbegx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getbegyx</STRONG>.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getcury</STRONG> and <STRONG>getcurx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getyx</STRONG>.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getmaxy</STRONG> and <STRONG>getmaxx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getmaxyx</STRONG>.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>getpary</STRONG> and <STRONG>getparx</STRONG> functions return the same data as <STRONG>getparyx</STRONG>.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
Except as noted, these functions return an integer, or <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if the
window parameter is null.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
All of these interfaces are implemented as macros and functions. The
macros are suppressed (and only the functions provided) in an "opaque"
<EM>ncurses</EM> build, which defines the preprocessor symbol <STRONG>NCURSES_OPAQUE</STRONG>.
See section "ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS" in <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG>.
The standard forms such as <STRONG>getyx</STRONG> <EM>must</EM> 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 <EM>WINDOW</EM> structure.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
These functions were supported on Version 7, BSD or System V
implementations. None of those implementations checked the window
parameter.
The <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG> function and macro are defined to return a (signed)
integer for compatibility with those implementations although an
unsigned type would have been more appropriate.
