I can't find char-at-point; in emacs how do I get the char at the current point ?

(char-after (point))

(buffer-substring-no-properties (point) (+ 1 (point)))

@dpsutton: thanks! that doc page was very useful

how do I get the "font lock" of a given line? I expect it to have the font style of a OUTLINE HEADING, but instead it has the font style of a comment

it also acts like an outline header in outline-minor-mode, but it's not displaying as a header ... instead, it's displaying as a comment
