.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBbkgdset\fR and \fBwbkgdset\fR routines manipulate the
background of the named window.
character and moves with the character through any scrolling and
insert/delete line/character operations.
-To the extent possible on a
-particular terminal, the attribute part of the background is displayed
+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 \fBbkgd\fR and \fBwbkgd\fR functions
The \fBgetbkgd\fR function returns the given window's current background
character/attribute pair.

.SH RETURN VALUE
The routines \fBbkgd\fR and \fBwbkgd\fR return the integer \fBOK\fR.
The SVr4.0 manual says "or a non-negative integer if \fBimmedok\fR is set",
but this appears to be an error.

.SH NOTES
Note that \fBbkgdset\fR and \fBbkgd\fR may be macros.

.SH PORTABILITY
-These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. The draft
-does not include \fBconst\fR qualifiers on the arguments. The standard
-specifies that \fBbkgd\fR and \fBwbkgd\fR return \fBERR\fR, on failure. but
-gives no failure conditions.
