| 48 | .SH DESCRIPTION | 
|---|
| 49 | The \fBbkgdset\fR and \fBwbkgdset\fR routines manipulate the | 
|---|
| 50 | background of the named window. | 
|---|
| 51 | The window background is a \fBchtype\fR consisting of | 
|---|
| 52 | any combination of attributes (i.e., rendition) and a character. | 
|---|
| 53 | The attribute part of the background is combined (OR'ed) with all non-blank | 
|---|
| 54 | characters that are written into the window with \fBwaddch\fR.  Both | 
|---|
| 55 | the character and attribute parts of the background are combined with | 
|---|
| 56 | the blank characters.  The background becomes a property of the | 
|---|
| 57 | character and moves with the character through any scrolling and | 
|---|
| 58 | insert/delete line/character operations. | 
|---|
| 59 | .PP | 
|---|
| 60 | To the extent possible on a particular terminal, | 
|---|
| 61 | the attribute part of the background is displayed | 
|---|
| 62 | as the graphic rendition of the character put on the screen. | 
|---|
| 63 | .PP | 
|---|
| 64 | The \fBbkgd\fR and \fBwbkgd\fR functions | 
|---|
| 65 | set the background property of the current or specified window | 
|---|
| 66 | and then apply this setting to every character position in that window: | 
|---|
| 67 | .PP | 
|---|
| 68 | .RS | 
|---|
| 69 | The rendition of every character on the screen is changed to | 
|---|
| 70 | the new background rendition. | 
|---|
| 71 | .PP | 
|---|
| 72 | Wherever the former background character | 
|---|
| 73 | appears, it is changed to the new background character. | 
|---|
| 74 | .RE | 
|---|
| 75 | .PP | 
|---|
| 76 | The \fBgetbkgd\fR function returns the given window's current background | 
|---|
| 77 | character/attribute pair. | 
|---|
| 78 | .SH RETURN VALUE | 
|---|
| 79 | The routines \fBbkgd\fR and \fBwbkgd\fR return the integer \fBOK\fR. | 
|---|
| 80 | The SVr4.0 manual says "or a non-negative integer if \fBimmedok\fR is set", | 
|---|
| 81 | but this appears to be an error. | 
|---|
| 82 | .SH NOTES | 
|---|
| 83 | Note that \fBbkgdset\fR and \fBbkgd\fR may be macros. | 
|---|
| 84 | .SH PORTABILITY | 
|---|
| 85 | These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. | 
|---|
| 86 | It specifies that \fBbkgd\fR and \fBwbkgd\fR return \fBERR\fR on failure. | 
|---|
| 87 | but gives no failure conditions. |
