 The \fBbkgrndset\fR and \fBwbkgrndset\fR routines manipulate the

 The window background is a \fBcchar_t\fR consisting of
 any combination of attributes (i.e., rendition) and a complex character.
 The attribute part of the background is combined (OR'ed) with all non-blank

 .PP
 The \fBbkgrnd\fR and \fBwbkgrnd\fR functions
 set the background property of the current or specified window
 and then apply this setting to every character position in that window:

 The rendition of every character on the screen is changed to
 the new background rendition.

 The \fBgetbkgrnd\fR function returns the given window's current background
 character/attribute pair via the \fBwch\fR pointer.

+If the given window pointer is null,
