NAME
  curs_chgat, chgat, wchgat, mvchgat, mvwchgat - Change renditions of
  characters in a Curses window

SYNOPSIS
  #include <curses.h>

  int chgat(
	  int n,
	  attr_t attr,
	  short color_pair,
	  const void *opts );

  int wchgat(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  int n,
	  attr_t attr,
	  short color_pair,
	  const void *opts );

  int mvchgat(
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  int n,
	  attr_t attr,
	  short color_pair,
	  const void *opts );

  int mvwchgat(
	  WINDOW *win,
	  int y,
	  int x,
	  int n,
	  attr_t attr,
	  short color_pair,
	  const void *opts );

LIBRARY

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

  chgat, wchgat, mvchgat, mvwchgat:  XCURSES4.2

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

DESCRIPTION
  These functions change the renditions of the next n characters in the
  current or specified window (or of the remaining characters on the line if
  n is -1), starting at the current or specified cursor position. The
  attributes and colors are specified by attr and color_pair as in setcchar.

  These functions do not update the cursor and do not perform wrapping.

  A value of n that is greater than the remaining characters on a line is not
  an error.

  The opts argument is reserved for future use. Currently, the application
  must provide a null pointer as opts.

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

  Note that chgat, mvchgat, and mvwchgat may be macros.

RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.  Otherwise, they
  return ERR.
