int bkgrnd( const cchar_t *wch);
int wbkgrnd( WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch);
void bkgrndset(const cchar_t *wch );
void wbkgrndset(WINDOW *win, const cchar_t *wch);
int getbkgrnd(cchar_t *wch);
int wgetbkgrnd(WINDOW *win, cchar_t *wch);
bkgrndset
The bkgrndset and wbkgrndset routines manipulate the background
of the named window. The window background is a cchar_t
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 waddch.
• Both the character and attribute parts of the background are
combined with the blank characters.
The background becomes a property of the character 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.
bkgrnd
The bkgrnd and wbkgrnd functions set the background property of
the current or specified window and then apply this setting to
every character position in that window:
• The rendition of every character on the screen is changed to
the new background rendition.
• Wherever the former background character appears, it is
changed to the new background character.
getbkgrnd
The getbkgrnd function returns the given window's current
background character/attribute pair via the wch pointer. If the
given window pointer is null, the character is not updated (but
no error returned).
Note that bkgrnd, bkgrndset, and getbkgrnd 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 wbkgd.
The bkgrndset and wbkgrndset routines do not return a value.
Upon successful completion, the other functions return OK.
Otherwise, they return ERR:
• A null window pointer is treated as an error.
• A null character pointer is treated as an error.
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4
(X/Open Curses).
