       #include <curses.h>

       chtype inch(void);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       These routines return the character, of type  chtype,  at  the  current

 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.
