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

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

       int  mvwchgat(WINDOW  *win,  int	 y,  int  x, int n, attr_t attr, short

DESCRIPTION
       These   functions change the renditions of the next n characters in the
       current or specified window (or of the remaining characters on the cur‐
       rent or specified line, if n is −1),  beginning at the current or spec‐
       ified cursor position. The attributes and colors are specified by  attr
       and color as for setcchar(3XCURSES).

       These function neither update the cursor nor 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 definition in a future release.  Cur‐
       rently, the application must provide a null pointer for opts.

       color	       Is the new color pair to be assigned to the characters.

       opts	       Is reserved for future use.   Currently, this must be a
		       null pointer.

		       the window.
