These routines return the character, of type <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>, at the 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 <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG> can be used with the <STRONG>&</STRONG> (logical AND) operator to
extract the character or attributes alone.

Functions prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail if
the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries.
The <STRONG>winch</STRONG> function does not return an error if the window contains
characters larger than 8-bits (255). Only the low-order 8 bits of the
character are used by <STRONG>winch</STRONG>.

These functions are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4.
Very old systems (before standardization) provide a different function
with the same name:
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The <STRONG>winch</STRONG> function was part of the original BSD curses library,
which stored a 7-bit character combined with the <EM>standout</EM>
attribute.
In BSD curses, <STRONG>winch</STRONG> returned only the character (as an integer)
with the <EM>standout</EM> attribute removed.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> System V curses added support for several video attributes which
could be combined with characters in the window.
Reflecting this improvement, the function was altered to return the
character combined with all video attributes in a <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> value.
X/Open Curses does not specify the size and layout of attributes, color
and character values in <STRONG>chtype</STRONG>; it is implementation-dependent. This
implementation uses 8 bits for character values. An application using
more bits, e.g., a Unicode value, should use the wide-character
equivalents to these functions.
