51 <STRONG>inch</STRONG>, <STRONG>winch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvinch</STRONG>, <STRONG>mvwinch</STRONG> - get a character and

66 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
67 These routines return the character, of type <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, at
68 the current position in the named window. If any
69 attributes are set for that position, their values are
70 OR'ed into the value returned. Constants defined in
71 <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> can be used with the <STRONG>&</STRONG> (logical AND) operator
72 to extract the character or attributes alone.
74 <STRONG>Attributes</STRONG>
75 The following bit-masks may be AND-ed with characters
76 returned by <STRONG>winch</STRONG>.
78 <STRONG>A_CHARTEXT</STRONG> Bit-mask to extract character
79 <STRONG>A_ATTRIBUTES</STRONG> Bit-mask to extract attributes
80 <STRONG>A_COLOR</STRONG> Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information
85 Note that all of these routines may be macros.
89 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
90 These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
