TICKIT_TERM_GOTO(3)	   Library Functions Manual	   TICKIT_TERM_GOTO(3)

NAME
       tickit_term_goto, tickit_term_move - move the terminal output cursor

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<tickit.h>

       bool tickit_term_goto(TickitTerm	*tt, int line, int col);
       void tickit_term_move(TickitTerm	*tt, int downward, int rightward);

       Link with -ltickit.

DESCRIPTION
       tickit_term_goto() moves	the terminal output cursor to the absolute po-
       sition  specified.  On some terminals, either line or col may be	speci-
       fied as -1 to move within the line or column it is  currently  in.  Not
       all terminals may support the partial move ability; so the return value
       of  tickit_term_goto() should be	checked	after attempting a goto	within
       the line	or column to see if it actually	worked.	If not,	 the  applica-
       tion will have to reset the position using a fully-specified goto.

       tickit_term_move()  moves  the  terminal	 output	cursor relative	to its
       current position. Either	downward or rightward may be specified as 0 to
       not move	in that	direction.

RETURN VALUE
       tickit_term_goto() returns a boolean value indicating  whether  it  was
       able  to	 support the requested movement. tickit_term_move() returns no
       value.
