-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- The <STRONG>bkgrndset</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrndset</STRONG> routines manipulate the back-
- ground of the named window. The window background is a
- <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> 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
- characters that are written into the window with <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>.
- Both the character and attribute parts of the background
- are combined with the blank characters. The background
- becomes a property of the character and moves with the
- character through any scrolling and insert/delete
- line/character operations.
+</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
- To the extent possible on a particular terminal, the
- attribute part of the background is displayed as the
- graphic rendition of the character put on the screen.

+ The <STRONG>bkgrndset</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrndset</STRONG> routines manipulate the background of the
+ named window. The window background is a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> consisting of any

+ ter and moves with the character through any scrolling and
+ insert/delete line/character operations.
- The <STRONG>bkgrnd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrnd</STRONG> functions set the background prop-
- erty of the current or specified window and then apply
- this setting to every character position in that window:
+ To the extent possible on a particular terminal, the attribute part of
+ the background is displayed as the graphic rendition of the character
+ put on the screen.
- The rendition of every character on the screen is
- changed to the new background rendition.
- Wherever the former background character appears,
- it is changed to the new background character.
+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-bkgrnd">bkgrnd</a></H3><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>bkgrnd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrnd</STRONG> functions set the background property of the
+ current or specified window and then apply this setting to every char-
+ acter position in that window:
- The <STRONG>getbkgrnd</STRONG> function returns the given window's current
- background character/attribute pair via the <STRONG>wch</STRONG> pointer.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> The rendition of every character on the screen is changed to the
+ new background rendition.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> Wherever the former background character appears, it is changed to
+ the new background character.

+</PRE><H3><a name="h3-getbkgrnd">getbkgrnd</a></H3><PRE>
+ The <STRONG>getbkgrnd</STRONG> function returns the given window's current background
+ character/attribute pair via the <STRONG>wch</STRONG> pointer. If the given window
+ pointer is null, the character is not updated (but no error returned).

Note that <STRONG>bkgrnd</STRONG>, <STRONG>bkgrndset</STRONG>, and <STRONG>getbkgrnd</STRONG> may be macros.
+ X/Open Curses does not provide details on how the rendition is changed.
+ This implementation follows the approach used in SVr4 curses, which is
+ explained in the manual page for <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG>.

-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
- The <STRONG>bkgrndset</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrndset</STRONG> routines do not return a
- value.
- Upon successful completion, the other functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.
- Otherwise, they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>. A null window pointer is
- treated as an error.
