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>&lt;curses.h&gt;</STRONG> can be used with the <STRONG>&amp;</STRONG> (logical AND) operator
72 to extract the character or attributes alone.

77 The following bit-masks may be AND-ed with characters

80 <STRONG>A_CHARTEXT</STRONG> Bit-mask to extract character

87 Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-

89 outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
