NAME

curs_attr_get, attr_get, wattr_get, attr_off, wattr_off, attr_on, wattr_on, attr_set, wattr_set, color_set, wcolor_set - Functions that control Curses window attributes  

SYNOPSIS

#include <curses.h>

int attr_get( attr_t *attrs, short *color_pair, void *opts ); int wattr_get( WINDOW *win, attr_t *attrs, short *color_pair, void *opts ); int attr_off( attr_t attrs, void *opts ); int wattr_off( WINDOW *win, attr_t attrs, void *opts ); int attr_on( attr_t attrs, void *opts ); int wattr_on( WINDOW *win, attr_t attrs, void *opts ); int attr_set( attr_t attrs, short color_pair, void *opts ); int wattr_set( WINDOW *win, attr_t attrs, short color_pair, void *opts ); int color_set( short color_pair, void *opts ); int wcolor_set( WINDOW *win, short color_pair, void *opts );
 

LIBRARY

STANDARDS

Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

DESCRIPTION

These functions manipulate the attributes and color of the window rendition of the current or specified window. The current attributes of a window are applied to all characters that are written into the window. These attributes become 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, attributes are displayed as the graphic rendition of characters put on the screen.

The attr_get and wattr_get functions obtain the window rendition of the current or specified window. If attrs or color_pair is a null pointer, the functions do not obtain corresponding rendition information; this condition is not an error.

The attr_off and wattr_off functions turn off the named attributes, without affecting other attributes, for the current or specified window.

The attr_on and wattr_on functions turn on the named attributes, without affecting other attributes, for the current or specified window.

The attr_set and wattr_set functions set the window rendition of the current or specified window in conjunction with the window background rendition.

The color_set and wcolor_set functions set the window color of the current or specified window to color_pair.

The opts argument in all the preceding functions is reserved for future use. Currently, applications must provide a null pointer for the opts argument.
 

Attributes

Applications can pass the following video attributes, which are defined in <curses.h>, to these routines in place of attrs to turn on or off the corresponding attribute. More than one attribute can be passed by using an inclusive OR operation.

WA_ALTCHARSETAlternate character set
WA_BLINKBlinking
WA_BOLDExtra bright or bold
WA_DIMHalf bright
WA_HORIZONTALHorizontal highlight
WA_INVISInvisible
WA_LEFTLeft highlight
WA_LOWLow highlight
WA_PROTECTProtected
WA_REVERSEReverse video
WA_RIGHTRight highlight
WA_STANDOUTBest highlighting mode of the terminal.
WA_TOPTop highlight
WA_UNDERLINEUnderlining
WA_VERTICALVertical highlight


 

NOTES

The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.

Note that attr_get, attr_off, attr_on, attr_set, and color_set may be macros.
 

RETURN VALUES

These routines always return OK.
