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

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);

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 (&) operator to extract the character or attributes alone.

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

A_ATTRIBUTES A_COLOR

See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE

MT-Level Unsafe

curses (3CURSES), attributes (7)

The header <curses.h> automatically includes the headers <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

Note that all of these routines may be macros.
