tickit_term_goto, tickit_term_move - move the terminal output cursor
Contents
Description
tickit_term_goto() moves the terminal output cursor to the absolute position 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.
Name
tickit_term_goto, tickit_term_move - move the terminal output cursor
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.
