NAME
       curs_attr,  attroff,  wattroff,	attron, wattron, attrset, wattrset, standend, wstandend, standout, wstandout - curses character and window
       attribute control routines

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
       #include <curses.h>

       int attroff(int attrs);

       int wattroff(WINDOW *win, int attrs);

       int attron(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);

DESCRIPTION
       All of these routines manipulate the current attributes of the named window. The current attributes of a window are applied to all  charac-
       ters  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,  they
       are displayed as the graphic rendition of characters put on the screen.

       The  routine attrset() sets the current attributes of the given window to attrs. The routine attroff() turns off the named attributes with-
       out turning any other attributes on or off. The routine attron() turns on the named attributes without affecting any  others.  The  routine
       standout() is the same as attron(A_STANDOUT). The routine standend() is the same as attrset(), that is, it turns off all attributes.

   Attributes
       The  following video attributes, defined in <curses.h>, can be passed to the routines attron(), attroff(), and attrset(), or OR-ed with the
       characters passed to addch().

       A_STANDOUT	Best highlighting mode of the terminal

       A_UNDERLINE	Underlining

       A_REVERSE	Reverse video

       A_BLINK		Blinking

       A_DIM		Half bright

       A_BOLD		Extra bright or bold

       A_ALTCHARSET	Alternate character set

       A_CHARTEXT	Bit-mask to extract a character

       COLOR_PAIR(n)	Color-pair number n

       The following macro is the reverse of COLOR_PAIR(n):

       PAIR_NUMBER(attrs)    Returns the pair number associated with the COLOR_PAIR(n) attribute

RETURN VALUES
       These routines always return 1.

ATTRIBUTES
       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |MT-Level		     |Unsafe			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

NOTES
       The header <curses.h> automatically includes the headers  <stdio.h> and <unctrl.h>.

       Note that attroff(), wattroff(), attron(), wattron(), wattrset(), standend(), and standout() may be macros.
