How to use the move function under curses.h

It doesn't print at coordinates y=10, x=20.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curses.h>

int main()
{
    initscr();
    refresh();
    WINDOW *win;
    wmove(win, 10, 20);
    refresh();
    printf("hi\n"); 
    return 0;
}

When I execute it like this...

./a.out > op_file

This is what is op_file

[?1049h[1;24r(B[m[4l[?7h[H[2J-1
hi

Can someone explain...??

Solution

  • This works.

    #include <stdio.h>
#include <curses.h>

int main()
{
    initscr();
    refresh();

    WINDOW *win;
    win = stdscr;

    wmove(win, 10, 10);

    refresh();
    printf("hi\n");

    return 0;
}
