| X/Open Curses Library Functions | inch(3XCURSES) |
| | inch, mvinch, mvwinch, winch - return a single-byte character (with rendition) |
SYNOPSIS
| |
#include <curses.h> chtype inch(void); |
| | chtype mvinch(int y, int x); |
| | chtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x); |
| | chtype winch(WINDOW *win); |
| |
The inch() and winch() functions return the chtype character located at the current cursor position of the stdscr window
and window win, respectively. The mvinch() and mvwinch() functions 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/attribute pair will be 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.
