Synopsis

cc [flag . . .] file -locurses [library . . .]

#include <ocurses.h>

chtype inwch(void);
chtype winwch(WINDOW win);
chtype mvinwch(int y, int x);
chtype mvwinwch(WINDOW win, int y, int x);

Description

These routines return the wchar_t character, of type chtype, 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 ocurses.h can be used with the & (logical AND) operator to extract the character or attributes alone.

Attributes

The following bit-masks may be AND-ed with characters returned by winwch.

A_CHARTEXT: Bit-mask to extract character
A_ATTRIBUTES: Bit-mask to extract attributes
A_COLOR: Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information
