curs_inwch(3)curs_inwch(3)NAME
curs_inwch, inwch, winwch, mvinwch, mvwinwch - Get a wchar_t character
and its attributes from a Curses window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
chtype inwch(
void ); chtype winwch(
WINDOW *win ); chtype mvinwch(
int y,
int x ); chtype mvwinwch(
WINDOW *win,
int y,
int x );
LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses)
DESCRIPTION
These routines return the wide character, of type chtype, at the cur‐
rent or specified position in the current or specified window. If any
attributes are set for that position, their values included in the
returned value through an inclusive OR operation. Constants defined in
<curses.h> can be used with the & (logical AND) operator to extract the
character or attributes alone.
Attributes
The following bit-masks may be used (logical AND operation) with char‐
acters returned by winwch: Bit-mask to extract character Bit-mask to
extract attributes 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 except winwch may be macros.
The routines described on this reference page are among the MNLS Curses
functions that are not included in the X/Open Curses CAE specification.
MNLS routines are supported only for backward compatibility reasons.
Use the *in_wch functions in new applications (see curs_in_wch(3)).
