Miscellaneous Library Functions                     curs_inch(3X)



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

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     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  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.

SEE ALSO

     Comparable  functions  in  the   wide-character   (ncursesw)
     library are described in curs_in_wch(3X).
