int mvderwin(WINDOW *win, int par_y, int par_x);

par_y

Is the y (row) coordinate of the placement of the upper left corner of window relative to the parent window.

Whenever win is refreshed, its contents are updated to match those of the mapped area and any reference to characters in win is treated as a reference to corresponding characters in the mapped area.
