in_wch, mvin_wch, mvwin_wch, win_wch - extract a
complex character and rendition from a window
#include <ncurses/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);
These functions extract the complex character and rendition from the current
position in the named window into the cchar_t object referenced by
wcval.
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.
Note that all of these routines may be macros.
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
