     current position in the named window.  If any attributes are set for that
     position, their values are	OR-ed into the value returned.	Constants
     defined in	<curses.h> can be used with the	& (logical AND)	operator to
     extract the character or attributes alone.

     The following bit-masks may be AND-ed with	characters returned by winwch.

	  A_CHARTEXT  Bit-mask to extract character
