getcpo - returns the current character position

As shipped in IRIX 6.5. First release of IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     getcpo - returns the current character position

FORTRAN 77 SPECIFICATION
     subroutine getcpo(ix, iy)
     integer*2 ix, iy

PARAMETERS
     ix   expects the variable into which to write the x coordinate of the
          current character position.

     iy   expects the variable into which to write the y coordinate of the
          current character position.

DESCRIPTION
     getcpos gets the current character position and writes it into the
     parameters.  For purely historical reasons, the returned values are
     offset by the window origin; i.e. they are absolute screen coordinates.

     When the current character position is undefined, the action of this
     routine is undefined.
