NAME

foreground window attributes

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include -L /usr/xpg4/lib \
-R /usr/xpg4/lib -lcurses [ library... ]

#include <curses.h>

int attroff(int attrs);

int attron(int attrs);

int attrset(int attrs);

int wattroff(WINDOW *win, int attrs);

int wattron(WINDOW *win, int attrs);

int wattrset(WINDOW *win, int attrs);

DESCRIPTION

The attroff() and attron() functions unset and set, respectively,
the specified window attributes of stdscr. These functions only
affect the attributes specified; attributes that existed before the
call are retained. The wattroff() and wattron() functions unset or
set the specified attributes for window win.

The attrset() and wattrset() functions change the specified window
renditions of stdscr and win to new values; the old values are not
retained.

The attributes that can be used are specified in the Attributes,
Color Pairs, and Renditions section of the curses(3XCURSES) man
page.

Here is an example that prints some text using the current window
rendition, adds underlining, changes the attributes, prints more
text, then changes the attributes back.

printw("This word is");
attron(A_UNDERLINE);
printw("underlined.");
attroff(A_NORMAL);
printw("This is back to normal text.\n");
refresh();

PARAMETERS

win
Is a pointer to the window in which attribute changes are to
be made.

RETURN VALUES
