curs_attr(3) Library Functions Manual curs_attr(3) NAME curs_attr, attroff, wattroff, attron, wattron, attrset, wattrset, standend, wstandend, standout, wstandout - Curses character and window attribute control routines LIBRARY Curses Library (libcurses.a, libcurses.so) SYNOPSIS #include <curses.h> int attroff(int attrs); int wattroff(WINDOW *win, int attrs); int at- tron(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); STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: attroff, wattroff, attron, wattron, attrset, wattrset, standend, wstandend, standout, wstandout: XPG4, XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about in- dustry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION These routines manipulate the current attributes of the current or specified 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, attrib- utes are displayed as the graphic rendition of characters put on the screen. The routine attrset sets the current attributes of the 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 at- tributes without affecting any others. The routine standout is equiva- lent to attron(A_STANDOUT). The routine standend is equivalent to at- trset(0); that is, standend turns off all attributes. Attributes The following video attributes, which are defined in curses.h, can be passed to the routines attron, attroff, and attrset. The attributes also can be combined (by using an inclusive OR operation) with charac- ters passed to addch. Alternate character set Blinking Extra bright or bold Half bright Invisible Protected Reverse video Best highlighting mode of the terminal. Underlining NOTES The header file curses.h automatically includes the header file stdio.h. Note that attroff, attron, attrset, standend, and standout may be macros. RETURN VALUES These routines always return OK. RELATED INFORMATION Functions: curses(3), curs_addch(3), curs_addstr(3), curs_attr_get(3), curs_printw(3) Others: standards(5) delim off curs_attr(3)
