DESCRIPTION

36       The attroff() and attron() functions unset and set,  respectively,  the
37       specified window attributes of stdscr.  These functions only affect the
38       attributes specified; attributes  that  existed  before  the  call  are
39       retained.  The  wattroff()  and  wattron()  functions  unset or set the
40       specified attributes for window win.
41
42
43       The attrset() and wattrset() functions  change  the  specified   window
44       renditions  of  stdscr  and  win to new values;  the old values are not
45       retained.
46
47
48       The attributes that can be used are specified in the  Attributes, Color
49       Pairs, and Renditions section of the  curses(3XCURSES) man page.

52       Here  is an example that prints some text using the current window ren‐
53       dition, adds underlining, changes the  attributes,  prints  more  text,
54       then changes the  attributes back.
55
56         printw("This word is");
57         attron(A_UNDERLINE);
58         printw("underlined.");
59         attroff(A_NORMAL);
60         printw("This is back to normal text.\n");
61         refresh();
