curs_inwch: inwch, winwch, mvinwch, mvwinwch - get a wchar_t character and its attributes from a curses window

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.7. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     curs_inwch: inwch, winwch, mvinwch, mvwinwch - get a wchar_t character
     and its attributes from a curses window

SYNOPSIS
     #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_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.
