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 posi-
     tion specified. On some terminals, either line or col may be  specified  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  application  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.
