curs_inch(3)        UNIX Programmer's Manual         curs_inch(3)

NAME

     inch, winch, mvinch, mvwinch - get a character and attri-
     butes from a curses window

SYNOPSIS

     #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

     These routines return the character, of type chtype, at the
     current position in the named window.  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.

     Attributes
     The following bit-masks may 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

NOTES

     Note that all of these routines may be macros.

PORTABILITY

     These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
     Issue 4.
