NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       curs_inwch,  inwch,  winwch,  mvinwch,  mvwinwch  -  Get a
       wchar_t character and its attributes from a Curses window

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #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    [Toc]    [Back]

       Curses Library (libcurses)

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

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

       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  specification. MNLS routines are supported
 only for backward compatibility  reasons.  Use  the
       *in_wch     functions    in    new    applications    (see
       curs_in_wch(3)).
