curs_attr(3X)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.
