The <STRONG>bkgrndset</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrndset</STRONG> routines manipulate the background of the
named window. The window background is a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> consisting of any
combination of attributes (i.e., rendition) and a complex character.
The attribute part of the background is combined (OR'ed) with all non-
blank characters that are written into the window with <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>. Both
the character and attribute parts of the background are combined with
the blank characters. The background becomes a property of the charac-
ter and moves with the character through any scrolling and
insert/delete line/character operations.
To the extent possible on a particular terminal, the attribute part of
the background is displayed as the graphic rendition of the character
put on the screen.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-bkgrnd">bkgrnd</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>bkgrnd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrnd</STRONG> functions set the background property of the
current or specified window and then apply this setting to every char-
acter position in that window:
<STRONG>o</STRONG> The rendition of every character on the screen is changed to the
new background rendition.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> Wherever the former background character appears, it is changed to
the new background character.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-getbkgrnd">getbkgrnd</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>getbkgrnd</STRONG> function returns the given window's current background
character/attribute pair via the <STRONG>wch</STRONG> pointer. If the given window
pointer is null, the character is not updated (but no error returned).
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
Note that <STRONG>bkgrnd</STRONG>, <STRONG>bkgrndset</STRONG>, and <STRONG>getbkgrnd</STRONG> may be macros.
X/Open Curses does not provide details on how the rendition is changed.
This implementation follows the approach used in SVr4 curses, which is
explained in the manual page for <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG>.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
The <STRONG>bkgrndset</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrndset</STRONG> routines do not return a value.
Upon successful completion, the other functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. Otherwise,
they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>:
<STRONG>o</STRONG> A null window pointer is treated as an error.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> A null character pointer is treated as an error.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4
(X/Open Curses).
