NAME

       in_wch, mvin_wch, mvwin_wch, win_wch - get a curses complex character from a window

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curses.h>

       int in_wch(cchar_t *wch);
       int win_wch(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wch);

       int mvin_wch(int y, int x, cchar_t *wch);
       int mvwin_wch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, cchar_t *wch);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions extract the complex character and rendition from the current position in the named window
       into the cchar_t object referenced by wch.

RETURN VALUE

       No  errors  are  defined  in X/Open Curses.  This implementation checks for null pointers, returns ERR in
       that case.  Also, the mv routines check for  error  moving  the  cursor,  returning  ERR  in  that  case.
       Otherwise they return OK.

       Functions prefixed with “mv” first perform cursor movement and fail if the position (y, x) is outside the
       window boundaries.

NOTES

       Note that all of these routines may be macros.

PORTABILITY

       These functions are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4.
