CURSES_STANDOUT(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					CURSES_STANDOUT(3)

NAME

     curses_standout, standout, standend, wstandout, wstandend -- curses standout attribute manipulation routines

LIBRARY

     Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <curses.h>

     int
     standout(void);

     int
     standend(void);

     int
     wstandout(void);

     int
     wstandend(void);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions manipulate the standout attribute on stdscr or on the specified window.

     The standout() function turns on the standout attribute on stdscr.  The standend() function turns off the standout attribute on stdscr.

     The wstandout() and wstandend() functions are equivalent to standout() and standend(), respectively, excepting that the attribute is manipu-
     lated on the window specified by win.

     The standout() and standend() functions are equivalent to attron(A_STANDOUT) and attroff(A_STANDOUT), respectively.

RETURN VALUES

     These functions always return 1.

SEE ALSO

     curses_attributes(3), curses_underscore(3)

STANDARDS

     The NetBSD Curses library complies with the X/Open Curses specification, part of the Single Unix Specification.

HISTORY

     The Curses package appeared in 4.0BSD.

BUGS

     On modern terminals that support other attributes, there is no difference between characters displayed with the standout attribute set and
     those displayed with one of the other attributes set (usually bold).  It is best to avoid using standout if the terminal supports other
     attributes.
