NAME
     curs_inch: inch, winch, mvinch, mvwinch - get a character and its
     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_ATTRIBUTESBit-mask to extract attributes
          A_COLOR     Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information

NOTES
     The header file curses.h automatically includes the header files stdio.h
     and unctrl.h.

     Note that all of these routines may be macros.
