Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +053070 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.
81
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.

Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +053089 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:

Steve Kondikae271bc2015-11-15 02:50:53 +010093 <STRONG>o</STRONG> The rendition of every character on the screen is
94 changed to the new background rendition.

97 is changed to the new background character.
