+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I background
+of a
+.I curses
+window
+(in the library's \*(``wide\*('' configuration)
+is a
+.I \%cchar_t
+combining a set of attributes
+(see \fB\%attr\fP(3NCURSES))
+with a complex character called the
+.I "blank character."
+.PP
+The blank character is a spacing character that populates a window's
+character cells when their contents are erased without replacement.
+The background's attributes are combined with all non-blank characters
+written to the window,
+as with the \fB\%wadd_wch\fP(3NCURSES) and \fB\%wins_wch\fP(3NCURSES) families of
+functions.
+.PP
+The blank character and attributes of the background combine with
+characters written to the window as described below.
+The background becomes a property of the character and moves with it
+through any scrolling and insert/delete line/character operations.
+.PP
+To the extent possible on a given terminal,
+the attribute part of the background is displayed as the graphic
+rendition of the character put on the screen.
+.SS "bkgrnd, wbkgrnd"
+\fB\%bkgrnd\fP and \fB\%wbkgrnd\fP set the background property of
+\fB\%stdscr\fP or the specified window and then apply this setting to
+every character cell in that window.
+.bP
+The rendition of every character in the window changes to the new
+background rendition.
+.bP
+Wherever the former background character appears,
+it changes to the new background character.
+.PP
+.I \%ncurses
+updates the rendition of each character cell by comparing the character,
+non-color attributes,
+and colors.
+The library applies to following procedure to each cell in the window,
+whether or not it is blank.
+.bP
+.I \%ncurses
+first compares the cell's character to the previously specified blank
+character;
+if they match,
+.I \%ncurses
+writes the new blank character to the cell.
+.bP
+.I \%ncurses
+then checks if the cell uses color,
+that is,
+its color pair value is nonzero.
+If not,
+it simply replaces the attributes and color pair in the cell with those
+from the new background character.
+.bP
+If the cell uses color,
+and its background color matches that of the current window background,
+.I \%ncurses
+removes attributes that may have come from the current background and
+adds those from the new background.
+It finishes by setting the cell's background to use the new window
+background color.
+.bP
+If the cell uses color,
+and its background color does not match that of the current window
+background,
+.I \%ncurses
+updates only the non-color attributes,
+first removing those that may have come from the current background,
+and then adding attributes from the new background.
+.PP
+.I \%ncurses
+treats a background character value of zero (0) as a blank character.
+.PP
+If the terminal does not support color,
+or if color has not been initialized with \fB\%start_color\fP(3NCURSES),
+.I \%ncurses
+ignores the new background character's color attribute.
+.SS "bkgrndset, wbkgrndset"
+\fB\%bkgrndset\fP and \fB\%wbkgrndset\fP manipulate the background of
+the applicable window,
+without updating the character cells as \fB\%bkgrnd\fP and
+\fB\%wbkgrnd\fP do;
+only future writes reflect the updated background.
+.SS "getbkgrnd, wgetbkgrnd"
+The \fB\%getbkgrnd\fP and \fB\%wgetbkgrnd\fP functions obtain the
+background character and attribute pair of \fB\%stdscr\fP or the
+specified window and store it via the
+.I wch
+pointer.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+\fBbkgrndset\fP and \fBwbkgrndset\fP do not return a value.
+.PP
+The other functions return
+.B ERR
+upon failure and
+.B OK
+upon success.
+In
+.I \%ncurses,
+failure occurs if
+.bP
+a
+.I \%WINDOW
+pointer
+.I win
+is null, or
+.bP
+a
+.I \%cchar_t
+pointer
+.I wch
+is null.
+.SH NOTES
+\fB\%bkgrnd\fP,
+\fB\%bkgrndset\fP, and
+\fB\%getbkgrnd\fP
+may be implemented as macros.
+.PP
+Unlike their counterparts in the non-\*(``wide\*('' configuration of
+.I \%ncurses,
+\fB\%getbkgrnd\fP and \fB\%wgetbkgrnd\fP supply the background character
+and attribute in a modifiable
+.I \%cchar_t
+parameter,
+not as the return value.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+X/Open Curses, Issue 4, describes these functions.
+It specifies no error conditions for them.
+.PP
+X/Open Curses does not provide details of how the rendition is updated.
+This implementation follows the approach used in SVr4
+.I curses.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+\fB\%bkgd\fP(3NCURSES) describes the corresponding functions in the
+non-\*(``wide\*('' configuration of
+.I \%ncurses.
