curs_inch(3) Library Functions Manual curs_inch(3) NAME curs_inch, inch, winch, mvinch, mvwinch - Get a character and its at- tributes from a Curses window LIBRARY Curses Library (libcurses.a, libcurses.so) 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); STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: inch, winch, mvinch, mvwinch: XPG4, XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about in- dustry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION These routines return the character, of type chtype, at the current po- sition 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 attrib- utes alone. Attributes The following bit-masks may be used (logical AND) with characters re- turned by winch. Bit-mask to extract character Bit-mask to extract at- tributes 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. RELATED INFORMATION Functions: curses(3) Others: standards(5) delim off curs_inch(3)
