SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>
int in_wch(cchar_t *wcval);
 int mvin_wch(int y, int x, cchar_t *wcval);
 int mvwin_wch(WINDOW *win, inty, cchar_t *wcval);
 int win_wch(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wcval);

DESCRIPTION

 

The in_wch() and win_wch() functions retrieve the complex character and its rendition located at the current cursor position of the stdscr window and window win, respectively. The mvin_wch() and mvwin_wch() functions retrieve the complex character and its rendition located at the position indicated by the x (column) and y (row) parameters (the former in the stdscr window; the latter in window win).

All these functions store the retrieved character and its rendition in the object pointed to by wcval.
