.SH DESCRIPTION
-These legacy functions are simpler to use than the X/Open \fIcurses\fP functions:
+These legacy functions are simpler to use
+than the X/Open \fIcurses\fP functions:
.bP
-The \fB\%getattrs\fP function returns the same attribute data as \fB\%wattr_get\fP.
+The \fB\%getattrs\fP function returns the same attribute data
+as \fB\%wattr_get\fP.
.IP
However, \fB\%getattrs\fP returns an integer (actually a \fB\%chtype\fP),
while \fB\%wattr_get\fP returns the current color pair in a separate parameter.
Because \fB\%getattrs\fP returns the attributes in a single parameter,
it would not be possible for an application to distinguish that from
\fBERR\fP (a \fI-1\fP).
-If the window parameter is null, \fB\%getattrs\fP returns \fB\%A_NORMAL\fP (zero).
+If the window parameter is null, \fB\%getattrs\fP
+returns \fB\%A_NORMAL\fP (zero).
.bP
The \fB\%getbegy\fP and \fB\%getbegx\fP functions return the same
data as \fB\%getbegyx\fP.
these functions return an integer,
or \fBERR\fP if the window parameter is null.
.SH NOTES
-All of these interfaces are provided as macros and functions.
-The macros are suppressed (and only the functions provided)
-when \fB\%NCURSES_OPAQUE\fP is defined.
-The standard forms such as \fB\%getyx\fP must be implemented as macros,
-and (in this implementation) are defined in terms of the functions
-described here,
-to avoid reliance on internal details of the \fB\%WINDOW\fP structure.

.SH PORTABILITY
These functions were supported on Version 7, BSD or System V implementations.
None of those implementations checked the window parameter.
