DESCRIPTION
The attr_get() function retrieves the current rendition of stdscr. The
wattr_get() function retrieves the current rendition of window win. If
attrs or color is a null pointer, no information is retrieved.
The attr_off() and attr_on() functions unset and set, respectively, the
specified window attributes of stdscr. These functions only affect the
attributes specified; attributes that existed before the call are
retained.
The wattr_off() and wattr_on() functions unset or set the specified
attributes for window win.
The attr_set() and wattr_set() functions change the rendition of stdscr
and win; the old values are not retained.
The color_set() and wcolor_set() functions set the window color of std‐
scr and win to color.
The attributes and color pairs that can be used are specified in the
Attributes, Color Pairs, and Renditions section of the curses(3XCURSES)
man page.
