<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
These routines manipulate the current attributes of the
named window. The current attributes of a window apply to
- all characters that are written into the window with <B>wad-</B>
- <B>dch</B>, <B>waddstr</B> and <B>wprintw</B>. Attributes are a property of
+ all characters that are written into the window with <STRONG>wad-</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>dch</STRONG>, <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG> and <STRONG>wprintw</STRONG>. Attributes are a property of
the character, and move with the character through any
scrolling and insert/delete line/character operations. To
the extent possible, they are displayed as appropriate
modifications to the graphic rendition of characters put
on the screen.
- The routine <B>attrset</B> sets the current attributes of the
- given window to <I>attrs</I>. The routine <B>attroff</B> turns off the
+ The routine <STRONG>attrset</STRONG> sets the current attributes of the
+ given window to <EM>attrs</EM>. The routine <STRONG>attroff</STRONG> turns off the
named attributes without turning any other attributes on
- or off. The routine <B>attron</B> turns on the named attributes
- without affecting any others. The routine <B>standout</B> is the
- same as <B>attron(A_STANDOUT)</B>. The routine <B>standend</B> is the
- same as <B>attrset(A_NORMAL)</B> or <B>attrset(0)</B>, that is, it turns
+ or off. The routine <STRONG>attron</STRONG> turns on the named attributes
+ without affecting any others. The routine <STRONG>standout</STRONG> is the
+ same as <STRONG>attron(A_STANDOUT)</STRONG>. The routine <STRONG>standend</STRONG> is the
+ same as <STRONG>attrset(A_NORMAL)</STRONG> or <STRONG>attrset(0)</STRONG>, that is, it turns
off all attributes.
- The routine <B>color_set</B> sets the current color of the given
- window to the foreground/background combination described
- by the color_pair_number. The parameter opts is reserved
+ The <STRONG>attrset</STRONG> and related routines do not affect the
+ attributes used when erasing portions of the window. See
+ <STRONG><A HREF="curs_bkgd.3x.html">curs_bkgd(3x)</A></STRONG> for functions which modify the attributes
+ used for erasing and clearing.
+
+ The routine <STRONG>color_set</STRONG> sets the current color of the given
+ window to the foreground/background combination described
+ by the color_pair_number. The parameter opts is reserved
for future use, applications must supply a null pointer.
- The routine <B>wattr_get</B> returns the current attribute and
- color pair for the given window; <B>attr_get</B> returns the cur-
- rent attribute and color pair for <B>stdscr</B>. The remaining
- <B>attr_</B>* functions operate exactly like the corresponding
- <B>attr</B>* functions, except that they take arguments of type
- <B>attr_t</B> rather than <B>int</B>.
-
- The routine <B>chgat</B> changes the attributes of a given number
- of characters starting at the current cursor location of
- <B>stdscr</B>. It does not update the cursor and does not per-
- form wrapping. A character count of -1 or greater than
- the remaining window width means to change attributes all
- the way to the end of the current line. The <B>wchgat</B> func-
- tion generalizes this to any window; the <B>mvwchgat</B> function

does a cursor move before acting. In these functions, the

- argument of <I>init</I><B>_</B><I>pair</I>, see <B><A HREF="curs_color.3x.html">curs_color(3x)</A></B>). The <B>opts</B>

- future (leave it <B>NULL</B>).

- <B>Attributes</B>
- The following video attributes, defined in <B><curses.h></B>, can
- be passed to the routines <B>attron</B>, <B>attroff</B>, and <B>attrset</B>, or
- OR'ed with the characters passed to <B>addch</B>.

-
- The following macro is the reverse of <B>COLOR_PAIR(</B><I>n</I><B>)</B>:
-
- <B>PAIR_NUMBER(</B><I>attrs</I>) Returns the pair number associated
- with the <B>COLOR_PAIR(</B><I>n</I><B>)</B> attribute.
-
- The return values of many of these routines are not mean-
- ingful (they are implemented as macro-expanded assignments
- and simply return their argument). The SVr4 manual page
- claims (falsely) that these routines always return <B>1</B>.

+ future (leave it <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>). Note that changing the attributes
+ does not imply that a subsequent <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> will update the

+ fied. Use <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG> to force the screen to match the
