Curses Library Functionscurs_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. 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 AND-ed with characters returned by winwch().
 
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 TYPEATTRIBUTE VALUE
MT-LevelUnsafe

SEE ALSO

 

curses(3CURSES), attributes(5)

NOTES

 

The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files <stdio.h>, <unctrl.h> and <widec.h>.

Note that all of these routines may be macros.

None of these routines can use the color attribute in chtype.
