current attributes of the named window, +which then apply to all characters that are written into +the window with \fBwaddch\fP, \fBwaddstr\fP and \fBwprintw\fP. +Attributes are +a property of the character, and move with the character through any scrolling +and insert/delete line/character operations. +To the extent possible, they are +displayed as appropriate modifications to the graphic rendition of characters +put on the screen. +.PP +These routines do not affect the attributes used +when erasing portions of the window. +See \fB\%bkgd\fP(3NCURSES) for functions which modify the attributes used for +erasing and clearing. +.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.SS "Window Attributes" +There are two sets of functions: +.bP +functions for manipulating the window attributes and color: +\fBwattr_set\fP and \fBwattr_get\fP. +.bP +functions for manipulating only the window attributes (not color): +\fBwattr_on\fP and \fBwattr_off\fP. +.PP +The \fBwattr_set\fP function sets the current attributes +of the given window to \fIattrs\fP, with color specified by \fIpair\fP. +.PP +Use \fBwattr_get\fP to retrieve attributes for the given window. +.PP +Use \fBattr_on\fP and \fBwattr_on\fP to turn on window attributes, i.e., +values OR'd together in \fIattr\fP, +without affecting other attributes. +Use \fBattr_off\fP and \fBwattr_off\fP to turn off window attributes, +again values OR'd together in \fIattr\fP, +without affecting other attributes. +.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.SS "Legacy Window Attributes" +The X/Open window attribute routines which \fIset\fP or \fIget\fP, +turn \fIon\fP or \fIoff\fP +are extensions of older routines +which assume that color pairs are OR'd into the attribute parameter. +These newer routines use similar names, because +X/Open simply added an underscore (\fB_\fP) for the newer names. +.PP +The \fBint\fP datatype used in the legacy routines is treated as if +it is the same size as \fBchtype\fP (used by \fB\%addch\fP(3NCURSES)). +It holds the common video attributes (such as bold, reverse), +as well as a few bits for color. +Those bits correspond to the \fBA_COLOR\fP symbol. +The \fBCOLOR_PAIR\fP macro provides a value which can be OR'd into +the attribute parameter. +For example, +as long as that value fits into the \fBA_COLOR\fP mask, +then these calls produce similar results: +.PP +.RS 4 +.EX +attrset(A_BOLD | COLOR_PAIR(\fIpair\fP)); +attr_set(A_BOLD, \fIpair\fP, NULL); +.EE +.RE +.PP +However, if the value does not fit, then the \fBCOLOR_PAIR\fP macro +uses only the bits that fit. +For example, +because in \fI\%ncurses\fP \fBA_COLOR\fP has eight (8) bits, +then \fBCOLOR_PAIR(\fI259\fB)\fR is 4 +(i.e., 259 is 4 more than the limit 255). +.PP +The \fBPAIR_NUMBER\fP macro extracts a pair number from an \fBint\fP +(or \fBchtype\fP). +For example, the \fIinput\fP and \fIoutput\fP values in these statements +would be the same: +.PP +.RS 4 +.EX +int value = A_BOLD | COLOR_PAIR(\fIinput\fP); +int \fIoutput\fP = PAIR_NUMBER(value); +.EE +.RE +.PP +The \fBattrset\fP routine is a legacy feature predating SVr4 curses +but kept in X/Open Curses for the same reason that SVr4 curses kept it: +compatibility. +.PP +The remaining \fBattr\fP* functions operate exactly like the corresponding +\fBattr_\fP* functions, except that they take arguments of type \fBint\fP +rather than \fBattr_t\fP. +.PP +There is no corresponding \fB\%attrget\fP function as such +in X/Open Curses, +although \fI\%ncurses\fP provides \fB\%getattrs\fP +(see \fB\%legacy\fP(3NCURSES)). +.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.SS "Change Character Rendition" +The routine \fBchgat\fP changes the attributes of a given number of characters +starting at the current cursor location of \fBstdscr\fP. +It does not update +the cursor and does not perform wrapping. +A character count of \-1 or greater +than the remaining window width means to change attributes all the way to the +end of the current line. +The \fBwchgat\fP function generalizes this to any window; +the \fBmvwchgat\fP function does a cursor move before acting. +.PP +In these functions, +the color \fIpair\fP argument is a color pair index +(as in the first argument of \fBinit_pair\fP, see \fB\%color\fP(3NCURSES)). +.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.SS "Change Window Color" +The routine \fBcolor_set\fP sets the current color of the given window to the +foreground/background combination described by the color \fIpair\fP parameter. +.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.SS Standout +The routine \fBstandout\fP is +the same as \fBattron(A_STANDOUT)\fP. +The routine \fBstandend\fP is the same +as \fBattrset(A_NORMAL)\fP or \fBattrset(0)\fP, that is, it turns off all +attributes. +.PP +X/Open does not mark these \*(``restricted\*('', because +.bP +they have well established legacy use, and +.bP +there is no ambiguity about the way the attributes +might be combined with a color pair. +.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.SS "Video Attributes" +The following video attributes, defined in \fB<curses.h>\fP, can be passed to +the routines \fBattron\fP, \fBattroff\fP, and \fBattrset\fP, or OR'd with the +characters passed to \fBaddch\fP (see \fB\%addch\fP(3NCURSES)). +.PP +.ne 15 +.RS +.TS +Lb Lb +Lb Lx. +Name Description +_

+.RS +\fBattroff\fP, \fBwattroff\fP, \fBattron\fP, \fBwattron\fP, +\fBattrset\fP, \fBwattrset\fP, \fBstandend\fP and \fBstandout\fP. +.RE +.PP +Color pair values can only be OR'd with attributes if the pair +number is less than 256. +The alternate functions such as \fBcolor_set\fP can pass a color pair +value directly. +However, \fI\%ncurses\fP ABI 4 and 5 simply OR this value +within the alternate functions. +You must use \fI\%ncurses\fP ABI 6 to support more than 256 color pairs. +.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.SH EXTENSIONS +This implementation provides the \fBA_ITALIC\fP attribute for terminals +which have the \fBenter_italics_mode\fP (\fBsitm\fP) +and \fBexit_italics_mode\fP (\fBritm\fP) capabilities. +Italics are not mentioned in X/Open Curses. +Unlike the other video attributes, \fBA_ITALIC\fP is unrelated +to the \fBset_attributes\fP capabilities. +This implementation makes the assumption that +\fBexit_attribute_mode\fP may also reset italics. +.PP +Each of the functions added by XSI Curses has a parameter \fIopts\fP, +which X/Open Curses still (after more than twenty years) documents +as reserved for future use, saying that it should be \fBNULL\fP. +This implementation uses that parameter in ABI 6 for the functions which +have a color pair parameter to support \fIextended color pairs\fP: +.bP +For functions which modify the color, e.g., +\fBwattr_set\fP and \fBwattr_on\fP, +if \fIopts\fP is set it is treated as a pointer to \fBint\fP, +and used to set the color pair instead of the \fBshort\fP \fIpair\fP parameter. +.bP +For functions which retrieve the color, e.g., +\fBwattr_get\fP, +if \fIopts\fP is set it is treated as a pointer to \fBint\fP, +and used to retrieve the color pair as an \fBint\fP value, +in addition to +retrieving it via the standard pointer to \fBshort\fP parameter. +.bP +For functions which turn attributes off, e.g., +\fBwattr_off\fP, +the \fIopts\fP parameter is ignored except +except to check that it is \fBNULL\fP. +.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.SH PORTABILITY +These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. +The standard defined the dedicated type for highlights, +\fBattr_t\fP, which was not defined in SVr4 curses. +The functions taking \fBattr_t\fP arguments were not supported under SVr4. +.PP +Very old versions of this library did not force an update of the screen +when changing the attributes. +Use \fBtouchwin\fP to force the screen to match the updated attributes. +.PP +The XSI Curses standard states that whether the traditional functions +\fBattron\fP/\fBattroff\fP/\fBattrset\fP can manipulate attributes other than +\fBA_BLINK\fP, \fBA_BOLD\fP, \fBA_DIM\fP, \fBA_REVERSE\fP, \fBA_STANDOUT\fP, or +\fBA_UNDERLINE\fP is \*(``unspecified\*(''. +Under this implementation as well as +SVr4 curses, these functions correctly manipulate all other highlights +(specifically, \fBA_ALTCHARSET\fP, \fBA_PROTECT\fP, and \fBA_INVIS\fP). +.PP +XSI Curses added these entry points: +.sp +.RS +\fBattr_get\fP, \fBattr_on\fP, +\fBattr_off\fP, \fBattr_set\fP, \fBwattr_on\fP, \fBwattr_off\fP, +\fBwattr_get\fP, \fBwattr_set\fP +.RE +.PP +The new functions are intended to work with +a new series of highlight macros prefixed with \fBWA_\fP. +The older macros have direct counterparts in the newer set of names: +.PP +.RS +.ne 9 +.TS +Lb Lb +Lb Lx. +Name Description +_ +WA_NORMAL Normal display (no highlight) +WA_STANDOUT T{ +Best highlighting mode of the terminal +T} +WA_UNDERLINE Underlining +WA_REVERSE Reverse video +WA_BLINK Blinking +WA_DIM Half bright +WA_BOLD Extra bright or bold +WA_ALTCHARSET Alternate character set +.TE +.RE +.PP +XSI curses does not assign values to these symbols, +nor does it state whether or not they are related to the +similarly-named A_NORMAL, etc.: +.bP +The XSI curses standard specifies that each pair of corresponding \fBA_\fP +and \fBWA_\fP-using functions operates on the same current-highlight +information. +.bP +However, in some implementations, those symbols have unrelated values. +.IP +For example, the Solaris \fIxpg4\fP (X/Open) curses declares +\fBattr_t\fP to be an unsigned short integer (16-bits), +while \fBchtype\fP is a unsigned integer (32-bits). +The \fBWA_\fP symbols in this case are different from the \fBA_\fP symbols +because they are used for a smaller datatype which does not +represent \fBA_CHARTEXT\fP or \fBA_COLOR\fP. +.IP +In this implementation (as in many others), the values happen to be +the same because it simplifies copying information between +\fBchtype\fP and \fBcchar_t\fP variables. +.bP +Because \fI\%ncurses\fP's \fBattr_t\fP can hold a color pair +(in the \fBA_COLOR\fP field), +a call to +\fBwattr_on\fP, +\fBwattr_off\fP, or +\fBwattr_set\fP +may alter the window's color. +If the color pair information in the attribute parameter is zero, +no change is made to the window's color. +.IP +This is consistent with SVr4 curses; +X/Open Curses does not specify this. +.PP +The XSI standard extended conformance level adds new highlights +\fBA_HORIZONTAL\fP, \fBA_LEFT\fP, \fBA_LOW\fP, \fBA_RIGHT\fP, \fBA_TOP\fP, +\fBA_VERTICAL\fP (and corresponding \fBWA_\fP macros for each). +As of August 2013, +no known terminal provides these highlights +(i.e., via the \fBsgr1\fP capability). +.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +.SH HISTORY +X/Open Curses is largely based on SVr4 curses, +adding support for \*(``wide-characters\*('' (not specific to Unicode). +Some of the X/Open differences from SVr4 curses address the way +video attributes can be applied to wide-characters. +But aside from that, \fBattrset\fP and \fBattr_set\fP are similar. +SVr4 curses provided the basic features for manipulating video attributes. +However, earlier versions of curses provided a part of these features. +.PP +As seen in 2.8BSD, curses assumed 7-bit characters, +using the eighth bit of a byte to represent the \fIstandout\fP +feature (often implemented as bold and/or reverse video). +The BSD curses library provided functions \fBstandout\fP and \fBstandend\fP +which were carried along into X/Open Curses due to their pervasive use +in legacy applications. +.PP +Some terminals in the 1980s could support a variety of video attributes, +although the BSD curses library could do nothing with those. +System V (1983) provided an improved curses library. +It defined the \fBA_\fP symbols for use by applications to manipulate the +other attributes. +There are few useful references for the chronology. +.PP +Goodheart's book +\fIUNIX Curses Explained\fP (1991) describes SVr3 (1987), +commenting on several functions: +.bP +the \fBattron\fP, \fBattroff\fP, \fBattrset\fP functions +(and most of the functions found in SVr4 but not in BSD curses) were +introduced by System V, +.bP +the alternate character set feature with \fBA_ALTCHARSET\fP was +added in SVr2 and improved in SVr3 (by adding \fBacs_map[]\fP), +.bP +\fBstart_color\fP and related color-functions were introduced by System V.3.2, +.bP +pads, soft-keys were added in SVr3, and +.PP +Goodheart did not mention the background character or the \fBcchar_t\fP type. +Those are respectively SVr4 and X/Open features. +He did mention the \fBA_\fP constants, but did not indicate their values. +Those were not the same in different systems, +even for those marked as System V. +.PP +Different Unix systems used different sizes for the bit-fields in \fBchtype\fP +for \fIcharacters\fP and \fIcolors\fP, and took into account the different +integer sizes (32-bit versus 64-bit). +.PP +This table showing the number of bits for \fBA_COLOR\fP +and \fBA_CHARTEXT\fP +was gleaned from the curses header files for +various operating systems and architectures. +The inferred architecture and notes reflect +the format and size of the defined constants +as well as clues such as the alternate character set implementation. +A 32-bit library can be used on a 64-bit system, +but not necessarily the reverse. +.PP +.TS +Lb Lb Lb Cb S Lb

64-bit +versions. +.bP +Unlike other systems which evolved from AT&T code, +OSF/1 provided a new implementation for X/Open curses. +.PP +Regarding Solaris, +.bP +The initial release of Solaris was in 1992. +.bP +The \fIxpg4\fP (X/Open) curses was developed by MKS from 1990 to 1995. +Sun's copyright began in 1996. +.bP +Sun updated the X/Open curses interface +after 64-bit support was introduced in 1997, +but did not modify the SVr4 curses interface. +.PP +Regarding U/Win, +.bP +Development of the curses library began in 1991, stopped in 2000. +.bP +Color support was added in 1998. +.bP +The library uses only \fBchtype\fP (no \fBcchar_t\fP). +.RE +.PP +Once X/Open curses was adopted in the mid-1990s, the constraint of +a 32-bit interface with many colors and wide-characters for \fBchtype\fP +became a moot point. +The \fBcchar_t\fP structure (whose size and +members are not specified in X/Open Curses) could be extended as needed. +.PP +Other interfaces are rarely used now: +.bP +BSD curses was improved slightly in 1993/1994 using Keith Bostic's +modification to make the library 8-bit clean for \fBnvi\fP(1). +He moved \fIstandout\fP attribute to a structure member. +.IP +The resulting 4.4BSD curses was replaced by \fI\%ncurses\fP over the +next ten years. +.bP +U/Win is rarely used now. +.\" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
