FUNCTION::ANSI_CURSOR_MOVE(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

function::ansi_cursor_move — move the cursor to new coordinates, bestie 💅

This one lives in the 3stap manual, from the "Utility functions for using an…" family of tapset pages. Yes, she's a SystemTap tapset function and yes, she's iconic for it.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ansi_cursor_move(x:long,y:long)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• x — the row you want the cursor to move to. like, which line, babes.
• y — the colomn you want the cursor to move to. (the manpage really said "Colomn" and honestly? we respect the typo era 🫶 it's the column. the column.)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

She sends the ansi code that positions the cursor at row x and column y. That's it. That's the whole job. no cap.

Coordinates start at one — so (1,1) is the top-left corner. not zero, not negative, one. periodt. 👑
