  int wattron(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  int attrs );

  int attrset(
	  int attrs );

  int wattrset(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  int attrs );

  int standend(
	  void );

  int wstandend(
	  WINDOW *win );

  int standout(
	  void );

STANDARDS
  Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
  as follows:

  attroff, wattroff, attron, wattron, attrset, wattrset, standend, wstandend,
  standout, wstandout:	XCURSES4.2

  Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
  industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
  These routines manipulate the current attributes of the current or
  specified window. The current attributes of a window are applied to all
  characters that are written into the window with waddch, waddstr and
  wprintw. 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 on the particular terminal, attributes
  are displayed as the graphic rendition of characters put on the screen.

  The routine attrset sets the current attributes of the window to attrs. The
  routine attroff turns off the named attributes without turning any other
  attributes on or off. The routine attron turns on the named attributes
  without affecting any others. The routine standout is equivalent to
  attron(A_STANDOUT). The routine standend is equivalent to attrset(0); that
  is, standend turns off all attributes.

  Attributes

  The following video attributes, which are defined in <curses.h>, can be
  passed to the routines attron, attroff, and attrset. The attributes also
  can be combined (by using an inclusive OR operation) with characters passed
  to addch.

  A_ALTCHARSET	 Alternate character set
  A_BLINK	 Blinking
  A_BOLD	 Extra bright or bold
  A_DIM		 Half bright
  A_INVIS	 Invisible
  A_PROTECT	 Protected
  A_REVERSE	 Reverse video
  A_STANDOUT	 Best highlighting mode of the terminal.
  A_UNDERLINE	 Underlining

NOTES
  The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file
  <stdio.h>.

  Note that attroff, attron, attrset, standend, and standout may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
  These routines always return OK.
