curs_inch(3X)                    UNIX System V                    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.
