NAME
       curs_inwch, inwch, winwch, mvinwch, mvwinwch - get a wchar_t character and its attributes from a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
       #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
       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 (&) oper-
       ator 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

ATTRIBUTES
       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |MT-Level		     |Unsafe			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

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.
