inch, winch, mvinch, mvwinch 

The inch set of routines is used to return a character (with attributes).

Syntax 

     #include <curses.h>

     chtype inch;
     chtype winch(WINDOW *win);

     chtype mvinch(int y, int x);
     chtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);

Parameters 

ch                    The character to be returned.

win                   A pointer to the window that contains the character
                      to be returned.

x                     The x (column) coordinate of the position of the
                      character to be returned.

y                     The y (row) coordinate of the position of the
                      character to be returned.

Return Values 

The chtype () character from the screen location.

Description 

The inch() and winch() routines return the chtype character located at
the current cursor position of the stdscr window and window win,
respectively.  The mvinch() and mvwinch() routines return the chtype
character located at the position indicated by the x (column) and y (row)
parameters (the former in the stdscr window; the latter in window win).

The complete character and attribute pair is returned.  The character or
attributes can be extracted by performing a bitwise AND on the returned
value, using the constants A_CHARTEXT, A_ATTRIBUTES, and A_COLOR defined
in curses.h.


NOTE  All of these routines are macros.

Identical to XPG/3
