curs_attr(3X)

NAME
     curs_attr:  attroff, wattroff, attron, wattron, attrset, wattrset,
     standend, wstandend, standout, wstandout - curses character and window
     attribute control routines

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curses.h>
     int attroff(int attrs);
     int wattroff(WINDOW *win, int attrs);
     int attron(int attrs);
     int wattron(WINDOW *win, int attrs);
     int attrset(int attrs);
     int wattrset(WINDOW *win, int attrs);
     int standend(void);
     int wstandend(WINDOW *win);
     int standout(void);
     int wstandout(WINDOW *win);

DESCRIPTION
     All of these routines manipulate the current attributes of the named
     window.  The current attributes of a window are applied to all characters
     that are written into the window with waddch, waddstr and wprintw.
     Attributes are a property of the character, and move with the character
     through any scrolling and insert/delete line/character operations.  To
     the extent possible on the particular terminal, they are displayed as the
     graphic rendition of characters put on the screen.

     The routine attrset sets the current attributes of the given window to
     attrs.  The routine attroff turns off the named attributes without
     turning any other attributes on or off.  The routine attron turns on the
     named attributes without affecting any others.  The routine standout is
     the same as attron(A_STANDOUT).  The routine standend is the same as
     attrset(0), that is, it turns off all attributes.

   Attributes
     The following video attributes, defined in <curses.h>, can be passed to
     the routines attron, attroff, and attrset, or OR-ed with the characters
     passed to addch.

          A_STANDOUT     Best highlighting mode of the terminal.
          A_UNDERLINE    Underlining
          A_REVERSE      Reverse video
          A_BLINK        Blinking
          A_DIM          Half bright
          A_BOLD         Extra bright or bold
          A_ALTCHARSET   Alternate character set
          A_CHARTEXT     Bit-mask to extract a character
          COLOR_PAIR(n)  Color-pair number n
     The following macro is the reverse of COLOR_PAIR(n):

          PAIR_NUMBER(attrs)Returns the pair number associated
                         with the COLOR_PAIR(n) attribute.

RETURN VALUE
     These routines always return 1.

NOTES
     The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header files
     <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

     Note that attroff, wattroff, attron, wattron, attrset, wattrset, standend
     and standout may be macros.
