.SH DESCRIPTION
These routines manipulate the current attributes of the named window. The
current attributes of a window apply to all characters that are written into
the window with \fBwaddch\fR, \fBwaddstr\fR and \fBwprintw\fR. 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, they are
displayed as appropriate modifications to the graphic rendition of characters
put on the screen.
The routine \fBattrset\fR sets the current attributes of the given window to
\fIattrs\fR. The routine \fBattroff\fR turns off the named attributes without
turning any other attributes on or off. The routine \fBattron\fR turns on the
named attributes without affecting any others. The routine \fBstandout\fR is
the same as \fBattron(A_STANDOUT)\fR. The routine \fBstandend\fR is the same
as \fBattrset(A_NORMAL)\fR or \fBattrset(0)\fR, that is, it turns off all
attributes.
The routine \fBwattr_get\fR returns the current attribute for the given
window; \fBattr_get\fR returns the current attribute for \fBstdscr\fR.
The remaining \fBattr_\fR* functions operate exactly like the corresponding
\fBattr\fR* functions, except that they take arguments of type \fBattr_t\fR
rather than \fBint\fR.
The routine \fBchgat\fR changes the attributes of a given number of characters
starting at the current cursor location of \fBstdscr\fR. It does not update
the cursor and does not perform wrapping. A character count of -1 or greater
than the remaining window width means to change attributes all the way to the
end of the current line. The \fBwchgat\fR function generalizes this to any
window; the \fBmvwchgat\fR function does a cursor move before acting. In these
functions, the color argument is a color-pair index (as in the first argument
of \fIinit_pair\fR, see \fBcurs_color\fR(3)). The \fBopts\fR argument is not
presently used, but is reserved for the future (leave it \fBNULL\fR).
.SS Attributes
The following video attributes, defined in \fB<curses.h>\fR, can be passed to
the routines \fBattron\fR, \fBattroff\fR, and \fBattrset\fR, or OR'ed with the
characters passed to \fBaddch\fR.
.TS
center ;
l l .
\fBA_NORMAL\fR Normal display (no highlight)
\fBA_STANDOUT\fR Best highlighting mode of the terminal.
\fBA_UNDERLINE\fR Underlining
\fBA_REVERSE\fR Reverse video
\fBA_BLINK\fR Blinking
\fBA_DIM\fR Half bright
\fBA_BOLD\fR Extra bright or bold
\fBA_PROTECT\fR Protected mode
\fBA_INVIS\fR Invisible or blank mode
\fBA_ALTCHARSET\fR Alternate character set
\fBA_CHARTEXT\fR Bit-mask to extract a character
\fBCOLOR_PAIR(\fR\fIn\fR\fB)\fR Color-pair number \fIn\fR
.TE
The following macro is the reverse of \fBCOLOR_PAIR(\fR\fIn\fR\fB)\fR:
.DS C
\fBPAIR_NUMBER(\fIattrs\fR) Returns the pair number associated
with the \fBCOLOR_PAIR(\fR\fIn\fR\fB)\fR attribute.
.DE
The return values of many of these routines are not meaningful (they are
implemented as macro-expanded assignments and simply return their argument).
The SVr4 manual page claims (falsely) that these routines always return \fB1\fR.
.SH NOTES
Note that \fBattroff\fR, \fBwattroff\fR, \fBattron\fR, \fBwattron\fR,
\fBattrset\fR, \fBwattrset\fR, \fBstandend\fR and \fBstandout\fR may be macros.
.SH PORTABILITY
All these functions are supported in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. The
standard defined the dedicated type for highlights, \fBattr_t\fR, which is not
defined in SVr4 curses. The functions taking \fBattr_t\fR arguments are
not supported under SVr4.
The XSI Curses standard states that whether the traditional functions
\fBattron\fR/\fBattroff\fR/\fBattrset\fR can manipulate attributes other than
\fBA_BLINK\fR, \fBA_BOLD\fR, \fBA_DIM\fR, \fBA_REVERSE\fR, \fBA_STANDOUT\fR, or
\fBA_UNDERLINE\fR is "unspecified". Under this implementation as well as
SVr4 curses, these functions correctly manipulate all other highlights
(specifically, \fBA_ALTCHARSET\fR, \fBA_PROTECT\fR, and \fBA_INVIS\fR).
XSI Curses added the new entry points, \fBattr_get\fR, \fBattr_on\fR,
\fBattr_off\fR, \fBattr_set\fR, \fBwattr_on\fR, \fBwattr_off\fR,
\fBwattr_get\fR, \fBwattr_set\fR. These are intended to work with
a new series of highlight macros prefixed with \fBWA_\fR.

\fBWA_NORMAL\fR Normal display (no highlight)

\fBWA_DIM\fR Half bright
\fBWA_BOLD\fR Extra bright or bold
\fBWA_ALTCHARSET\fR Alternate character set
.TE
The XSI curses standard specifies that each pair of corresponding \fBA_\fR
and \fBWA_\fR-using functions operates on the same current-highlight
information.
The XSI standard extended conformance level adds new highlights
\fBA_HORIZONTAL\fR, \fBA_LEFT\fR, \fBA_LOW\fR, \fBA_RIGHT\fR, \fBA_TOP\fR,
\fBA_VERTICAL\fR (and corresponding \fBWA_\fR macros for each) which this
curses does not yet support.
