  66 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  67        The <STRONG>bkgdset</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgdset</STRONG>  routines  manipulate  the  back-
  68        ground  of  the  named window.  The window background is a
  69        <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> consisting of any combination of attributes  (i.e.,
  70        rendition)  and  a  character.   The attribute part of the
  71        background is combined (OR'ed) with all non-blank  charac-
  72        ters  that  are written into the window with <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>.  Both
  73        the character and attribute parts of  the  background  are
  74        combined   with  the  blank  characters.   The  background
  75        becomes a property of the character  and  moves  with  the
  76        character   through   any   scrolling   and  insert/delete
  77        line/character operations.
  78
  79        To the extent  possible  on  a  particular  terminal,  the
  80        attribute  part  of  the  background  is  displayed as the
  81        graphic rendition of the character put on the screen.
  82
  83        The <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG> functions set the  background  property
  84        of  the  current  or  specified window and then apply this
  85        setting to every character position in that window:
  86
  87               The rendition of every character on the  screen  is
  88               changed to the new background rendition.
  89
  90               Wherever  the  former background character appears,
  91               it is changed to the new background character.
  92
  93        The <STRONG>getbkgd</STRONG> function returns the  given  window's  current
  94        background character/attribute pair.
  95
  96
  97 </PRE>
  98 <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
  99        The  routines  <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG>  and <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG> return the integer <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.  The
 100        SVr4.0 manual says "or a non-negative integer  if  <STRONG>immedok</STRONG>
 101        is set", but this appears to be an error.

 104 </PRE>
 105 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
 106        Note that <STRONG>bkgdset</STRONG> and <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> may be macros.

 110 <H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
 111        These  functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
 112        Issue 4.  It specifies that <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG> return  <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>  on
 113        failure, but gives no failure conditions.
