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 ); LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses) STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: inch, winch, mvinch, mvwinch: XCURSES4.2 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION
These routines return the character, of type chtype, at the current position in the named window. If any attributes are set for that posi- tion, their values are combined (through an inclusive OR operation) 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 used (logical AND) with characters returned by winch. Bit-mask to extract character Bit-mask to extract attributes Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>. Note that all of these routines may be macros. SEE ALSO
