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 );

LIBRARY
       Curses Library (libcurses)

DESCRIPTION
       These  routines	return the wide character, of type chtype, at the current or specified position in the current or specified window. If any
       attributes are set for that position, their values included in the returned value through an inclusive OR operation. 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 operation) with characters returned by winwch: 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 except winwch may be macros.

       The routines described on this reference page are among the MNLS Curses functions that are not included in the X/Open Curses CAE specifica-
       tion.  MNLS  routines  are  supported  only  for  backward  compatibility  reasons.  Use  the  *in_wch  functions  in new applications (see
       curs_in_wch(3)).
