SET_CURSOR_POSITION(9r)
NAME
  SET_CURSOR_POSITION - Graphics: Moves the cursor to a specified position

SYNOPSIS
  #include sys/ioctl.h
  #include sys/workstation.h

  ioctl(
	  int gfx_fd,
	  unsigned long SET_CURSOR_POSITION,
	  void *ws_driver_structure_pointer );

ARGUMENTS
  gfx_fd
      Specifies the file descriptor of the graphics device-special file (by
      convention /dev/ws0) that the open system call returns when the server
      is initialized. The server uses this file descriptor in subsequent
      ioctl calls into the Workstation Subsystem.

  SET_CURSOR_POSITION
      Specifies the ioctl command used to access the ws_cursor_position
      structure in /usr/sys/include/sys/workstation.h.

  ws_driver_structure_pointer
      Specifies a pointer to the ws_cursor_position structure in
      /usr/sys/include/sys/workstation.h.

DESCRIPTION
  The SET_CURSOR_POSITION ioctl command causes the cursor to move to the
  specified coordinates. The screen is specified by the screen member of the
  ws_cursor_position structure; the coordinates are specified by the x and y
  members of the ws_cursor_position structure. The structure is defined in
  /usr/sys/include/sys/workstation.h.

RESTRICTIONS
  The graphics subsystem supports only one workstation per machine.

RETURN VALUES
  If successful, the SET_CURSOR_POSITION ioctl command returns 0 (zero). If
  unsuccessful, it returns -1.
