NAME
       curs_bkgrnd,  bkgrnd, wbkgrnd, bkgrndset, wbkgrndset, getbkgrnd, wgetbkgrnd - Set or get background character and rendition by using a com-

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int bkgrnd(

	       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
       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.
