NAME

curs_inwch: inwch, winwch, mvinwch, mvwinwch − get a wchar_t character 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 wchar_t 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 winwch. 

A_CHARTEXTBit-mask to extract character
A_ATTRIBUTES Bit-mask to extract attributes
A_COLORBit-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.
