These routines return the character, of type
chtype,
at the current position in the named window. If any attributes are set for
that position, their values are combined (through an inclusive OR operation)
into the value returned. Constants defined in
<curses.h>
can be used with the
&
(logical
AND) operator to extract the character or attributes alone.
The following bit-masks may be used (logical AND) with characters returned
by
winch.
Bit-mask to extract character
Bit-mask to extract attributes
Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.
Note that all of these routines may be macros.
