I'm not exactly sure what you asking.

If you're asking, "Where in the text object does the cursor position get
set when a user clicks on some text?",  the answer is
textv.c:textview__Hit().  There is some code at the top of that method
that sets the cursor:

	if (action == view_LeftDown)  {
	    mark_SetPos(self->dot, newLeftPos);
	    mark_SetLength(self->dot, newRightPos - newLeftPos);

If you're asking, "After a hit in some text, how can we get the current
cursor {location,length}?,  the answer is:

	textview_GetDotPosition(textv);
	textview_GetDotLength(textv);
