NAME
       inch,  winch,  mvinch, mvwinch - get a character and attributes from a
       curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       chtype inch(void);
       chtype winch(WINDOW *win);
       chtype mvinch(int y, int x);
       chtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);

DESCRIPTION
       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 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
       winch.


       A_CHARTEXT     Bit-mask to extract character
       A_ATTRIBUTES   Bit-mask to extract attributes
       A_COLOR	      Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information

NOTES
       Note that all of these routines may be macros.

PORTABILITY
       These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
