curs_inch(3X)                                       curs_inch(3X)



NAME
     cursinch:  inch, winch, mvinch, mvwinch - get a character
     and its attributes 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
     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.

     Attributes
     The following bit-masks may be AND-ed with characters
     returned by winch.

          ACHARTEXT  Bit-mask to extract character
          AATTRIBUTESBit-mask to extract attributes
          ACOLOR     Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information

NOTES
     The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header
     files <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

     Note that all of these routines may be macros.
