CURSES_CHGAT(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual CURSES_CHGAT(3)
NAME
chgat, wchgat, mvchgat, mvwchgat - curses on-screen attribute
manipulation routines
LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int
chgat(int n, attr_t attr, short color, const void *opts);
int
wchgat(WINDOW *win, int n, attr_t attr, short color, const void *opts);
int
mvchgat(int y, int x, int n, attr_t attr, short color, const void *opts);
int
mvwchgat(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, int n, attr_t attr, short color,
const void *opts);
DESCRIPTION
These functions modify the attributes of the drawn content on stdscr or
on the specified window.
The chgat() function sets the attributes of the next n characters to attr
and the color pair to color. If n is negative or larger than the
remainder of the line, it gets truncated.
The wchgat() is the same as the chgat() function, excepting that the
attributes are changed in the window specified by win.
The mvchgat() and mvwchgat() functions are the same as the chgat() and
wchgat() functions, respectively, excepting that they operate from the
position specified by y, x.
These functions do not perform wrapping. They do not update the cursor
position.
RETURN VALUES
The functions that return an int will return one of the following values:
OK The function completed successfully.
ERR An error occurred in the function.
