.TH curs_inch 3X "" .SH NAME \fBinch\fR, \fBwinch\fR, \fBmvinch\fR, \fBmvwinch\fR - get a character and attributes from a \fBcurses\fR window .SH SYNOPSIS \fB#include <curses.h>\fR \fBchtype inch(void);\fR .br \fBchtype winch(WINDOW *win);\fR .br \fBchtype mvinch(int y, int x);\fR .br \fBchtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);\fR .br .SH DESCRIPTION These routines return the character, of type \fBchtype\fR, at the current position in the named window. If any attributes are set for that position, their values are OR-ed into the value returned. Constants defined in \fB<curses.h>\fR can be used with the \fB&\fR (logical AND) operator to extract the character or attributes alone. .SS Attributes The following bit-masks may be AND-ed with characters returned by \fBwinch\fR. .nf \fBA_CHARTEXT\fR Bit-mask to extract character \fBA_ATTRIBUTES\fR Bit-mask to extract attributes \fBA_COLOR\fR Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information .fi .SH NOTES Note that all of these routines may be macros. .SH PORTABILITY These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. .SH SEE ALSO \fBcurses\fR(3X). .\"# .\"# The following sets edit modes for GNU EMACS .\"# Local Variables: .\"# mode:nroff .\"# fill-column:79 .\"# End:
