NAME
       inch,  mvinch,  mvwinch,	 winch	- return a single-byte character (with
       rendition)

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
       -R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       chtype inch(void);

       chtype mvinch(int y, int x);

       chtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);

       chtype winch(WINDOW *win);

DESCRIPTION
       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.

PARAMETERS
       y	Is the y (row) coordinate of the position of the character  to
		be returned.

       x	Is  the x (column) coordinate of the position of the character
		to be returned.

       win	Is a pointer to the window that contains the character	to  be
		returned.

RETURN VALUES
       On  success,  these functions return the specified character and rendi‐
       tion. Otherwise, they return ERR.

ERRORS
       None.
