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 *wcval);
       int win_wch(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wcval);

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

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

       No errors are defined in the XSI Curses standard.  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 with a “mv” prefix first perform a cursor movement using wmove, and  return  an  error  if  the
       position is outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.

NOTES

       Note that all of these routines may be macros.

PORTABILITY

       These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
