Event options will be delivered in parameter mevent, which has to be an array, passed by reference (see example below). On success an associative array with following keys will be delivered:

Example 1. ncurses_getmouse() example

switch (ncurses_getch){
  case NCURSES_KEY_MOUSE:
    if (!ncurses_getmouse(&$mevent)){
      if ($mevent["mmask"] & NCURSES_MOUSE_BUTTON1_PRESSED){
        $mouse_x = $mevent["x"]; // Save mouse position
        $mouse_y = $mevent["y"];
      }
    }
  break;

  default:
    ....
}
