chtype inch(void);

chtype mvinch(int y, int x);

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

chtype winch(WINDOW *win);

The inch() and winch() functions return the chtype character located at the current cursor position of the stdscr window and window win, respectively. The mvinch() and mvwinch() functions return the chtype character located at the position indicated by the x (column) and y (row) parameters (the former in the stdscr window; the latter in window win).

The complete character/attribute pair will be returned. The character or attributes can be extracted by performing a bitwise AND on the returned value, using the constants A_CHARTEXT, A_ATTRIBUTES, and A_COLOR.

y x win

On success, these functions return the specified character and rendition. Otherwise, they return ERR.
