     chtype mvinch(int y, int x);


     chtype mvwinch(WINDOW *win, int y, int x);


DESCRIPTION
     With these routines, the character, of type chtype,  at  the
     current  position  in  the  named window is returned. If any
     attributes are set for that position, their values are OR-ed

     returned by winch().
