  98        These  routines  manipulate  the current attributes of the
  99        named window.  The current attributes of a window apply to
 100        all characters that are written into the window with <STRONG>wadd-</STRONG>
 101        <STRONG>ch</STRONG>, <STRONG>waddstr</STRONG> and <STRONG>wprintw</STRONG>.  Attributes are a property of the
 102        character,   and  move  with  the  character  through  any
 103        scrolling and insert/delete line/character operations.  To
 104        the  extent  possible,  they  are displayed as appropriate
 105        modifications to the graphic rendition of  characters  put
 106        on the screen.

 109 </PRE>
 110 <H3><a name="h3-attrset">attrset</a></H3><PRE>
 111        The  routine  <STRONG>attrset</STRONG>  sets  the current attributes of the
 112        given window to <EM>attrs</EM>.  The routine <STRONG>attroff</STRONG> turns off  the
 113        named  attributes  without turning any other attributes on
 114        or off.  The routine <STRONG>attron</STRONG> turns on the named  attributes
 115        without affecting any others.  The routine <STRONG>standout</STRONG> is the
 116        same as <STRONG>attron(A_STANDOUT)</STRONG>.  The routine <STRONG>standend</STRONG>  is  the
 117        same as <STRONG>attrset(A_NORMAL)</STRONG> or <STRONG>attrset(0)</STRONG>, that is, it turns
 118        off all attributes.
 119
 120        The <STRONG>attrset</STRONG> and related routines do  not  affect  the  at-
 121        tributes  used  when  erasing portions of the window.  See
 122        <STRONG><A HREF="curs_bkgd.3x.html">curs_bkgd(3x)</A></STRONG> for functions which  modify  the  attributes
 123        used for erasing and clearing.

 126 </PRE>
 127 <H3><a name="h3-attr_set">attr_set</a></H3><PRE>
 128        The <STRONG>attrset</STRONG> routine is actually a legacy feature predating
 129        SVr4 curses but kept in X/Open Curses for the same  reason
 130        that  SVr4 curses kept it: compatibility.  The routine <STRONG>at-</STRONG>
 131        <STRONG>tr_set</STRONG> provides for passing a color-pair parameter.
 132
 133        The remaining <STRONG>attr_</STRONG>* functions operate  exactly  like  the
 134        corresponding <STRONG>attr</STRONG>* functions, except that they take argu-
 135        ments of type <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG> rather than <STRONG>int</STRONG>.
 136
 137
 138 </PRE>
 139 <H3><a name="h3-color_set">color_set</a></H3><PRE>
 140        The routine <STRONG>color_set</STRONG> sets the current color of the  given
 141        window  to the foreground/background combination described
 142        by the color_pair_number.  The parameter opts is  reserved
 143        for future use, applications must supply a null pointer.
 144
 145
 146 </PRE>
 147 <H3><a name="h3-attr_get">attr_get</a></H3><PRE>
 148        The  routine  <STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG>  returns the current attribute and
 149        color pair for the given window; <STRONG>attr_get</STRONG> returns the cur-
 150        rent attribute and color pair for <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>.
 151
 152        There  is  no  corresponding  <STRONG>attrget</STRONG>  function as such in
 153        X/Open Curses, although  ncurses  provides  <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG>  (see
 154        <STRONG><A HREF="curs_legacy.3x.html">curs_legacy(3x)</A></STRONG>).
 155
 156
 157 </PRE>
 158 <H3><a name="h3-chgat">chgat</a></H3><PRE>
 159        The routine <STRONG>chgat</STRONG> changes the attributes of a given number
 160        of characters starting at the current cursor  location  of
 161        <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>.   It  does not update the cursor and does not per-
 162        form wrapping.  A character count of -1  or  greater  than
 163        the  remaining window width means to change attributes all
 164        the way to the end of the current line.  The <STRONG>wchgat</STRONG>  func-
 165        tion generalizes this to any window; the <STRONG>mvwchgat</STRONG> function
 166        does a cursor move before acting.  In these functions, the
 167        color  argument is a color-pair index (as in the first ar-
 168        gument of <EM>init</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>pair</EM>, see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_color.3x.html">curs_color(3x)</A></STRONG>).  The <STRONG>opts</STRONG>  argu-
 169        ment is not presently used, but is reserved for the future
 170        (leave it <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>).

 216
 217        The  return values of many of these routines are not mean-
 218        ingful (they are implemented as macro-expanded assignments
 219        and  simply  return their argument).  The SVr4 manual page
 220        claims (falsely) that these routines always return <STRONG>1</STRONG>.

 225        Note that <STRONG>attroff</STRONG>,  <STRONG>wattroff</STRONG>,  <STRONG>attron</STRONG>,  <STRONG>wattron</STRONG>,  <STRONG>attrset</STRONG>,
 226        <STRONG>wattrset</STRONG>, <STRONG>standend</STRONG> and <STRONG>standout</STRONG> may be macros.
 227
 228        <STRONG>COLOR_PAIR</STRONG>  values can only be OR'd with attributes if the
 229        pair number is less than  256.   The  alternate  functions
 230        such  as  <STRONG>color_set</STRONG>  can pass a color pair value directly.
 231        However, ncurses ABI 4 and 5 simply OR this  value  within
 232        the  alternate  functions.   You must use ncurses ABI 6 to
 233        support more than 256 color pairs.

 238        These functions are supported in the XSI Curses  standard,
 239        Issue  4.   The  standard  defined  the dedicated type for
 240        highlights, <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG>, which is not defined in  SVr4  curses.
 241        The  functions  taking  <STRONG>attr_t</STRONG> arguments are not supported
 242        under SVr4.
 243
 244        The XSI Curses standard states that whether the tradition-
 245        al  functions  <STRONG>attron</STRONG>/<STRONG>attroff</STRONG>/<STRONG>attrset</STRONG>  can  manipulate at-
 246        tributes other than  <STRONG>A_BLINK</STRONG>,  <STRONG>A_BOLD</STRONG>,  <STRONG>A_DIM</STRONG>,  <STRONG>A_REVERSE</STRONG>,
 247        <STRONG>A_STANDOUT</STRONG>,  or  <STRONG>A_UNDERLINE</STRONG> is "unspecified".  Under this
 248        implementation as well as  SVr4  curses,  these  functions
 249        correctly  manipulate  all other highlights (specifically,
 250        <STRONG>A_ALTCHARSET</STRONG>, <STRONG>A_PROTECT</STRONG>, and <STRONG>A_INVIS</STRONG>).
 251
 252        This implementation provides the  <STRONG>A_ITALIC</STRONG>  attribute  for
 253        terminals which have the <EM>enter</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>italics</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>mode</EM> (sitm) and <EM>ex-</EM>
 254        <EM>it</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>italics</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>mode</EM> (ritm) capabilities.  Italics are not men-
 255        tioned  in  X/Open  Curses.   Unlike  the  other video at-
 256        tributes, <STRONG>I_ITALIC</STRONG> is unrelated to the <EM>set</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>attributes</EM>  ca-
 257        pabilities.  This implementation makes the assumption that
 258        <EM>exit</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>attribute</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>mode</EM> may also reset italics.
 259
 260        XSI Curses added the new entry points, <STRONG>attr_get</STRONG>,  <STRONG>attr_on</STRONG>,
 261        <STRONG>attr_off</STRONG>,  <STRONG>attr_set</STRONG>,  <STRONG>wattr_on</STRONG>, <STRONG>wattr_off</STRONG>, <STRONG>wattr_get</STRONG>, <STRONG>wat-</STRONG>
 262        <STRONG>tr_set</STRONG>.  These are intended to work with a new  series  of
 263        highlight macros prefixed with <STRONG>WA_</STRONG>.  The older macros have
 264        direct counterparts in the newer set of names:
 265
 266               <EM>Name</EM>            <EM>Description</EM>
 267               ------------------------------------------------------------
 268               <STRONG>WA_NORMAL</STRONG>       Normal display (no highlight)
 269               <STRONG>WA_STANDOUT</STRONG>     Best highlighting mode of the terminal.
 270               <STRONG>WA_UNDERLINE</STRONG>    Underlining
 271               <STRONG>WA_REVERSE</STRONG>      Reverse video
 272               <STRONG>WA_BLINK</STRONG>        Blinking
 273               <STRONG>WA_DIM</STRONG>          Half bright
 274               <STRONG>WA_BOLD</STRONG>         Extra bright or bold
 275               <STRONG>WA_ALTCHARSET</STRONG>   Alternate character set
 276
 277        Very old versions of this library did not force an  update
 278        of  the screen when changing the attributes.  Use <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG>
 279        to force the screen to match the updated attributes.
 280
 281        The XSI curses standard specifies that each pair of corre-
 282        sponding  <STRONG>A_</STRONG>  and <STRONG>WA_</STRONG>-using functions operates on the same
 283        current-highlight information.
 284
 285        The XSI standard extended conformance level adds new high-
 286        lights <STRONG>A_HORIZONTAL</STRONG>, <STRONG>A_LEFT</STRONG>, <STRONG>A_LOW</STRONG>, <STRONG>A_RIGHT</STRONG>, <STRONG>A_TOP</STRONG>, <STRONG>A_VER-</STRONG>
 287        <STRONG>TICAL</STRONG> (and corresponding <STRONG>WA_</STRONG> macros for each).  As of  Au-
 288        gust  2013,  no  known  terminal provides these highlights
 289        (i.e., via the <STRONG>sgr1</STRONG> capability).

 293 <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
 294        All routines return the integer <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success, or  <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>  on
 295        failure.
 296
 297        X/Open does not define any error conditions.
 298
 299        This implementation returns an error if the window pointer
 300        is null.  The <STRONG>wcolor_set</STRONG> function returns an error if  the
 301        color   pair   parameter  is  outside  the  range  0..COL-
 302        OR_PAIRS-1.  This implementation  also  provides  <STRONG>getattrs</STRONG>
 303        for compatibility with older versions of curses.
 304
 305        Functions  with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor move-
 306        ment using <STRONG>wmove</STRONG>, and return an error if the  position  is
 307        outside the window, or if the window pointer is null.
