curs_inwch(3X)                 22 Aug 1991                   curs_inwch(3X)

NAME
     cursinwch:  inwch, winwch, mvinwch, mvwinwch - get a wchart charac-
     ter and its attributes from a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>

     chtype inwch(void);
     chtype winwch(WINDOW *win);
     chtype mvinwch(int y, int x);
     chtype mvwinwch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);

DESCRIPTION
     With these routines, the wchart 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 & (log-
     ical AND) operator to extract the character or attributes alone.

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

          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.
