67 These routines return the character, of type
<STRONG>chtype
</STRONG>, at
68 the current position in the named window. If any
69 attributes are set for that position, their values are
70 OR'ed into the value returned. Constants defined in
71 <STRONG><curses.h
></STRONG> can be used with the
<STRONG>&</STRONG> (logical AND) operator
72 to extract the character or attributes alone.

77 The following bit-masks may be AND-ed with characters
78 returned by
<STRONG>winch
</STRONG>.
80 <STRONG>A_CHARTEXT
</STRONG> Bit-mask to extract character
81 <STRONG>A_ATTRIBUTES
</STRONG> Bit-mask to extract attributes

87 Functions with a
"mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
88 ment using
<STRONG>wmove
</STRONG>, and return an error if the position is
89 outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
