Terminal output with escape sequences: Any way to get the flags at

Hi.

I use sequences like \033[4m (underscore) to pimp up my program's
output. However I am wondering if there is any method to actually to
actually GET the flags set for a given character on the terminal. In
other words: If I know the character's position (i.e. the location the
cursor is), how do I determine whether the character is underscored or not?

Best regards,
Markus
