The <STRONG>bkgdset</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgdset</STRONG> routines manipulate the back-
ground of the named window. The window background is a
<STRONG>chtype</STRONG> consisting of any combination of attributes (i.e.,
rendition) and a character. The attribute part of the
background is combined (OR'ed) with all non-blank charac-
ters 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 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.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-bkgd">bkgd</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG> functions set the background property
of the current or specified window and then apply this
setting to every character 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-getbkgd">getbkgd</a></H3><PRE>
The <STRONG>getbkgd</STRONG> function returns the given window's current
background character/attribute pair.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
The routines <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG> return the integer <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. The
SVr4.0 manual says "or a non-negative integer if <STRONG>immedok</STRONG>
is set", but this appears to be an error.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-NOTES">NOTES</a></H2><PRE>
Note that <STRONG>bkgdset</STRONG> and <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> may be macros.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-PORTABILITY">PORTABILITY</a></H2><PRE>
These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
Issue 4. It specifies that <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG> return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on
failure, but gives no failure conditions.
