curs_inch(3X)curs_inch(3X)NAME
curs_inch: 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
These routines return the 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 winch.
A_CHARTEXT Bit-mask to extract character
A_ATTRIBUTESBit-mask to extract attributes
A_COLOR 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.
