DESCRIPTION
       These   functions  change the renditions of the next n characters in the current or specified window (or of the remaining characters on the
       current or specified line, if n is -1),	beginning at the current or specified cursor position. The attributes and colors are specified	by
       attr and color as for setcchar(3XCURSES).

       These function neither update the cursor nor perform wrapping.

       A value of n that is greater than the remaining	characters on a line is not an error.

       The opts argument is reserved for definition in a future release. Currently, the application must provide a null pointer for opts.
