starting at the current cursor location of \fBstdscr\fR. It does not update

+the cursor and does not perform wrapping. A character count of \-1 or greater
than the remaining window width means to change attributes all the way to the
end of the current line. The \fBwchgat\fR function generalizes this to any
window; the \fBmvwchgat\fR function does a cursor move before acting. In these

.SH SYNOPSIS
color number, and the background color number.
For portable applications:
.TP 5
--
+\-
The value of the first argument
-must be between \fB1\fR and \fBCOLOR_PAIRS-1\fR,
+must be between \fB1\fR and \fBCOLOR_PAIRS\-1\fR,
except that if default colors are used (see \fBuse_default_colors\fP)
the upper limit is adjusted to allow for extra pairs which use
a default color in foreground and/or background.
.TP 5
--
+\-
The value of the second and
third arguments must be between 0 and \fBCOLORS\fR.
Color pair 0 is assumed to be white on black,
.PP
As an extension, ncurses allows you to set color pair 0 via
the \fBassume_default_colors\fR routine, or to specify the use of
-default colors (color number \fB-1\fR) if you first invoke the
+default colors (color number \fB\-1\fR) if you first invoke the
\fBuse_default_colors\fR routine.
.PP
The \fBinit_color\fR routine changes the definition of a color. It takes four
given color-pair consists of. It requires three arguments: the color-pair
number, and two addresses of \fBshort\fRs for storing the foreground and the
background color numbers. The value of the first argument must be between 1
-and \fBCOLOR_PAIRS-1\fR. The values that are stored at the addresses pointed
+and \fBCOLOR_PAIRS\-1\fR. The values that are stored at the addresses pointed
to by the second and third arguments are between 0 and \fBCOLORS\fR.
.SS Colors
In \fB<curses.h>\fR the following macros are defined. These are the default
.PP
X/Open defines no error conditions.
This implementation will return \fBERR\fR on attempts to
-use color values outside the range 0 to COLORS-1
+use color values outside the range 0 to COLORS\-1
(except for the default colors extension),
-or use color pairs outside the range 0 to COLOR_PAIR-1.
+or use color pairs outside the range 0 to COLOR_PAIR\-1.
Color values used in \fBinit_color\fP must be in the range 0 to 1000.
An error is returned from all functions
if the terminal has not been initialized.
.PP
Several caveats apply on 386 and 486 machines with VGA-compatible graphics:
.TP 5
--
+\-
COLOR_YELLOW is actually brown. To get yellow, use COLOR_YELLOW combined with
the \fBA_BOLD\fR attribute.
.TP 5
--
+\-
The A_BLINK attribute should in theory cause the background to go bright. This
often fails to work, and even some cards for which it mostly works (such as the
Paradise and compatibles) do the wrong thing when you try to set a bright
"yellow" background (you get a blinking yellow foreground instead).
.TP 5
--
+\-
Color RGB values are not settable.
.SH PORTABILITY
This implementation satisfies XSI Curses's minimum maximums
