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);

MT-LEVEL

Unsafe

DESCRIPTION

These routines return the wchar_t character, of type chtype, at the current position in the named window.  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_WCHARTEXT Bit-mask to extract character
A_WATTRIBUTES Bit-mask to extract attributes

SEE ALSO

curses(3X)

NOTES

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

Note that all of these routines may be macros. 

None of these routines can use the color attribute in chtype.
