ScreenGetChar

Syntax

#include <pc.h>

void  ScreenGetChar(int *ch, int *attr, int col, int row);

Description

This function stores the character and attribute of the current primary screen at row given by row and column given by col (these are zero-based) into the integers whose address is specified by ch and attr.

You can pass the value NULL in each of the pointers if you do not want to retrieve the the corresponding information.

Return Value

None.

Example

int ch, attr;

ScreenGetChar(&ch, &attr, 0, 0);
