DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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
       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    [Toc]    [Back]
       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  header  file  <curses.h>  automatically  includes the
       header file <stdio.h>.
