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 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, they are displayed as appropriate modifications to 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 without
       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(A_NORMAL) or attrset(0), that is, it turns off all
       attributes.

       The attrset and related routines do not affect the attributes used when
       erasing portions of the window.	See curs_bkgd(3) for functions which
       modify the attributes used for erasing and clearing.

       The routine color_set sets the current color of the given window to the
       foreground/background combination described by the color_pair_number.
       The parameter opts is reserved for future use, applications must supply
       a null pointer.

       The routine wattr_get returns the current attribute and color pair for
       the given window; attr_get returns the current attribute and color pair
       for stdscr.  The remaining attr_* functions operate exactly like the
       corresponding attr* functions, except that they take arguments of type
       attr_t rather than int.

       The routine chgat changes the attributes of a given number of
       characters starting at the current cursor location of stdscr.  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 wchgat
       function generalizes this to any window; the mvwchgat function does a
       cursor move before acting.  In these functions, the color argument is a
       color-pair index (as in the first argument of init_pair, see
       curs_color(3)).	The opts argument is not presently used, but is
       reserved for the future (leave it NULL).

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

       A_NORMAL	       Normal display (no highlight)
       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_PROTECT       Protected mode
       A_INVIS	       Invisible or blank mode
       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.

       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 1.

NOTES
       Note that attroff, wattroff, attron, wattron, attrset, wattrset,
       standend and standout may be macros.

       COLOR_PAIR values can only be OR'd with attributes if the pair number
       is less than 256.  The alternate functions such as color_set can pass a
       color pair value directly.  However, ncurses ABI 4 and 5 simply OR this
       value within the alternate functions.  You must use ncurses ABI 6 to
       support more than 256 color pairs.

PORTABILITY
       These functions are supported in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.  The
       standard defined the dedicated type for highlights, attr_t, which is
       not defined in SVr4 curses. The functions taking attr_t arguments are
       not supported under SVr4.

       The XSI Curses standard states that whether the traditional functions
       attron/attroff/attrset can manipulate attributes other than A_BLINK,
       A_BOLD, A_DIM, A_REVERSE, A_STANDOUT, or A_UNDERLINE is "unspecified".
       Under this implementation as well as SVr4 curses, these functions
       correctly manipulate all other highlights (specifically, A_ALTCHARSET,
       A_PROTECT, and A_INVIS).

       XSI Curses added the new entry points, attr_get, attr_on, attr_off,
       attr_set, wattr_on, wattr_off, wattr_get, wattr_set.  These are
       intended to work with a new series of highlight macros prefixed with
       WA_.

       Older versions of this library did not force an update of the screen
       when changing the attributes.  Use touchwin to force the screen to
       match the updated attributes.

       WA_NORMAL       Normal display (no highlight)
       WA_STANDOUT     Best highlighting mode of the terminal.
       WA_UNDERLINE    Underlining
       WA_REVERSE      Reverse video
       WA_BLINK	       Blinking
       WA_DIM	       Half bright
       WA_BOLD	       Extra bright or bold
       WA_ALTCHARSET   Alternate character set

       The XSI curses standard specifies that each pair of corresponding A_
       and WA_-using functions operates on the same current-highlight
       information.

       The XSI standard extended conformance level adds new highlights
       A_HORIZONTAL, A_LEFT, A_LOW, A_RIGHT, A_TOP, A_VERTICAL (and
       corresponding WA_ macros for each) which this implementation does not
       yet support.

RETURN VALUE
       All routines return the integer OK on success, or ERR on failure.

       X/Open does not define any error conditions.

       This implementation returns an error if the window pointer is null.
       The wcolor_set function returns an error if the color pair parameter is
       outside the range 0..COLOR_PAIRS-1.  This implementation also provides
       getattrs for compatibility with older versions of curses.
