Is there a function in the POSIX APIs for tracking the mouse position in the console?
Do the POSIX APIs provide a function to track where the mouse is in relation to the console? (For example, in Vim and derivatives, clicking and dragging selects that text in Visual mode.)

The POSIX API has no mouse-related functions or options. Console programs that interact with mice have to do so via OS-specific methods or non-POSIX libraries.
