.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBbkgrndset()\fR and \fBwbkgrndset()\fR functions turn off the previous
background attributes, logical OR the requested attributes into the window
rendition, and set the background property of the current or specified window
based on the information in \fIwch\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBbkgrnd()\fR and \fBwbkgrnd()\fR functions turn off the previous
background attributes, logical OR the requested attributes into the window
rendition, and set the background property of the current or specified window
and then apply this setting to every character position in that window:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
The rendition of every character on the screen is changed to the new window
rendition.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
Wherever the former background character appears, it is changed to the new
background character.
.RE
.sp
.LP
If \fIwch\fR refers to a non-spacing complex character for \fBbkgrnd()\fR,
\fBbkgrndset()\fR, \fBwbkgrnd()\fR, and \fBwbkgrndset()\fR, then \fIwch\fR is
added to the existing spacing complex character that is the background
character. If \fIwch\fR refers to a multi-column character, the results are
unspecified.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetbkgrnd()\fR and \fBwgetbkgrnd()\fR functions store, into the area
pointed to buy \fIwch\fR, the window's background character and rendition.
.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIwch\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 7n
Is a pointer to the complex background character to be set.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIwin\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 7n
Is a pointer to the window in which the complex background character is to  be
set.
.RE

.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBbkgrndset()\fR and \fBwbkgrndset()\fR functions do not return a value.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, the other functions return \fBOK\fR. Otherwise,
they return \fBERR\fR.
.SH ERRORS

.LP
No errors are defined.
