CURSES_STANDOUT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual CURSES_STANDOUT(3)NAMEcurses_standout, standout, standend, wstandout, wstandend -- curses standout attribute manipulation routinesLIBRARYCurses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)SYNOPSIS#include <curses.h> int standout(void); int standend(void); int wstandout(void); int wstandend(void);DESCRIPTIONThese 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 VALUESThese functions always return 1.SEE ALSOcurses_attributes(3), curses_underscore(3)STANDARDSThe NetBSD Curses library complies with the X/Open Curses specification, part of the Single Unix Specification.HISTORYThe Curses package appeared in 4.0BSD.BUGSOn 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.BSDOctober 13, 2002 BSD
