attributes from a Curses window
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
chtype inch(

STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
dards as follows:
inch, winch, mvinch, mvwinch: XCURSES4.2
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
industry standards and associated tags.
DESCRIPTION
These routines return the character, of type chtype, at the current
position in the named window. If any attributes are set for that posi‐
tion, 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.
Attributes
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
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file
<stdio.h>.
Note that all of these routines may be macros.
