NAME

       curs_inch, inch, winch, mvinch, mvwinch - get a character and its attributes from a curses window

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
       #include <curses.h>

       chtype inch(void);

       chtype winch(WINDOW *win);

       chtype mvinch(int y, int x);

       chtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);

DESCRIPTION

       With  these routines, the character, of type chtype, at the current position in the named window is returned. If any attributes are set for
       that position, their values are OR-ed into the value returned. Constants defined in <curses.h> can be used with the logical AND (&)  opera-
       tor to extract the character or attributes alone.

   Attributes
       The following bit-masks can be AND-ed with characters returned by winch().

       A_CHARTEXT	       Bit-mask to extract character

       A_ATTRIBUTES	       Bit-mask to extract attributes

       A_COLOR		       Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |MT-Level		     |Unsafe			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       Note that all of these routines may be macros.
