#include <curses.h>

int in_wch(cchar_t ∗wcval);

int mvin_wch(int y, int x, cchar_t ∗wcval);

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

ARGUMENTS

wcvalIs a pointer to an object that can store a complex character and its rendition. 

yIs the y (row) coordinate of the position of the character to be returned. 

xIs the x (column) coordinate of the position of the character to be returned. 

winIs a pointer to the window that contains the character to be returned. 

DESCRIPTION

The in_wch() and win_wch() functions retrieve the complex character and its rendition located at the current cursor position of the stdscr window and window win, respectively.  The mvin_wch() and mvwin_wch() functions retrieve the complex character and its rendition located at the position indicated by the x (column) and y (row) parameters (the former in the stdscr window; the latter in window win). 

All these functions store the retrieved character and its rendition in the object pointed to by wcval.
