A_INVIS Invisible
A_PROTECT Protected
A_REVERSE Reverse video

These attribute flags need not be distinct except when _XOPEN_CURSES is defined and the application
sets _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED to 1.
The following symbolic constants can be used as bit-masks to extract the components of a
chtype:
A_ATTRIBUTES Bit-mask to extract attributes
A_CHARTEXT Bit-mask to extract a character
A_COLOR Bit-mask to extract colour-pair information

Line-Drawing Constants
The
<curses.h> header defines the symbolic constants shown in the leftmost two columns of the fol-
lowing table for use in drawing lines. The symbolic constants that begin with ACS_ are char
constants.
The symbolic constants that begin with WACS_ are
cchar_t constants for use with the wide-character
interfaces that take a pointer to a cchar_t.
In the POSIX locale, the characters shown in the POSIX Locale Default column are used when the termi-
nal database does not specify a value using the
acsc capability as described in Line Graphics in ter-
minfo(4).
