Curses Library Functions                      curs_inwch(3CURSES)



NAME
     curs_inwch, inwch, winwch, mvinwch, mvwinwch - get a wchar_t
     character and its attributes from a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
     #include 

     chtype inwch(void);


     chtype winwch(WINDOW *win);


     chtype mvinwch(int y, int x);


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


DESCRIPTION
     These  routines  return  the   wchar_t  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  
     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 winwch().

       A_WCHARTEXT          Bit-mask to extract character
       A_WATTRIBUTES        Bit-mask to extract attributes


ATTRIBUTES
     See attributes(5) for descriptions of the  following  attri-
     butes:



     ____________________________________________________________
    |       ATTRIBUTE TYPE        |       ATTRIBUTE VALUE       |
