curs_inwch(3CURSES) Curses Library Functions curs_inwch(3CURSES)NAME
curs_inwch, inwch, winwch, mvinwch, mvwinwch - get a wchar_t character
and its attributes from a curses window
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library .. ]
#include <curses.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. Con‐
stants 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 AND-ed with characters returned by win‐
wch().
A_WCHARTEXT Bit-mask to extract character
A_WATTRIBUTES Bit-mask to extract attributes
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
┌─────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┐
│ ATTRIBUTE TYPE │ ATTRIBUTE VALUE │
├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤
│MT-Level │Unsafe │
└─────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┘
