70 The <STRONG>bkgdset</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgdset</STRONG> routines manipulate the back-
71 ground of the named window. The window background is a
72 <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> consisting of any combination of attributes (i.e.,
73 rendition) and a character. The attribute part of the
74 background is combined (OR'ed) with all non-blank charac-
75 ters that are written into the window with <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>. Both
76 the character and attribute parts of the background are
77 combined with the blank characters. The background
78 becomes a property of the character and moves with the
79 character through any scrolling and insert/delete
80 line/character operations.
82 To the extent possible on a particular terminal, the
83 attribute part of the background is displayed as the
84 graphic rendition of the character put on the screen.

89 The <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG> functions set the background property
90 of the current or specified window and then apply this
91 setting to every character position in that window:
93 <STRONG>o</STRONG> The rendition of every character on the screen is
94 changed to the new background rendition.
96 <STRONG>o</STRONG> Wherever the former background character appears, it
97 is changed to the new background character.

102 The <STRONG>getbkgd</STRONG> function returns the given window's current
103 background character/attribute pair.

107 <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
108 The routines <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG> return the integer <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. The
109 SVr4.0 manual says "or a non-negative integer if <STRONG>immedok</STRONG>
110 is set", but this appears to be an error.

120 These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard,
121 Issue 4. It specifies that <STRONG>bkgd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgd</STRONG> return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on
122 failure, but gives no failure conditions.
