NAME
curs_bkgrnd, bkgrnd, wbkgrnd, bkgrndset, wbkgrndset, getbkgrnd, wgetbkgrnd - Set or get background character and rendition by using a com- plex character SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h> int bkgrnd( const cchar_t *wch ); int wbkgrnd( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch ); void bkgrndset( const cchar_t *wch ); void wbkgrndset( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch ); int getbkgrnd( cchar_t *wch ); int wgetbkgrnd( WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wch ); LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses) STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: bkgrnd, wbkgrnd, bkgrndset, wbkgrndset, getbkgrnd, wgetbkgrnd: XCURSES4.2 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION
By using the information in wch, the bkgrndset and wbkgrndset functions set the background rendition and manipulate the window rendition of the current or specified window. These functions turn off the previous background attributes from the current window rendition and add the new background rendition from wch into the window rendition. The bkgrnd and wbkgrnd functions set the background rendition and manipulate the window rendition of the current or specified window. These functions turn off the previous background attributes from the current window rendition and add the new background rendition from wch into the window rendition. They then apply this setting to every character position in that window as follows: The rendition of every character on the screen is changed to the new window rendition. Wherever the former background character appears, it is changed to the new back- ground character. If wch refers to a nonspacing complex character for bkgrnd, bkgrndset, wbkgrnd, or wbkgrndset, then wch is added to the existing spacing complex character that is the background character. If wch refers to a multicolumn character, the results are unspecified. The getbkgrnd and wgetbkgrnd functions store into the area pointed to by wch the value of the window's background character and rendition. NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>. Note that bkgrnd, bkgrndset, and getbkgrnd may be macros. RETURN VALUES
The bkgrndset and wbkgrndset functions do not return a value. Upon successful completion, the other functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR. SEE ALSO

NAME
bkgrnd, wbkgrnd, bkgrndset, wbkgrndset, getbkgrnd, wgetbkgrnd - curses window complex background manipulation routines SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h> int bkgrnd( const cchar_t *wch); int wbkgrnd( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch); void bkgrndset(const cchar_t *wch ); void wbkgrndset(WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch); int getbkgrnd(cchar_t *wch); int wgetbkgrnd(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wch); DESCRIPTION
The bkgrndset and wbkgrndset routines manipulate the background of the named window. The window background is a cchar_t consisting of any combination of attributes (i.e., rendition) and a complex character. The attribute part of the background is combined (OR'ed) with all non-blank characters that are written into the window with waddch. Both the character and attribute parts of the background are combined with the blank characters. The background becomes a property of the character and moves with the character through any scrolling and insert/delete line/character operations. To the extent possible on a particular terminal, the attribute part of the background is displayed as the graphic rendition of the charac- ter put on the screen. The bkgrnd and wbkgrnd functions set the background property of the current or specified window and then apply this setting to every char- acter position in that window: The rendition of every character on the screen is changed to the new background rendition. Wherever the former background character appears, it is changed to the new background character. The getbkgrnd function returns the given window's current background character/attribute pair via the wch pointer. NOTES
Note that bkgrnd, bkgrndset, and getbkgrnd may be macros. RETURN VALUE
The bkgrndset and wbkgrndset routines do not return a value. Upon successful completion, the other functions return OK. Otherwise, they return ERR. A null window pointer is treated as an error. SEE ALSO
