curs_inch(3X)                  DG/UX R4.11MU05                 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.
