.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBattroff()\fR and \fBattron()\fR functions unset and set,  respectively,
the specified window attributes of \fBstdscr\fR.  These functions only affect
the attributes specified; attributes that existed before the call are retained.
The \fBwattroff()\fR and \fBwattron()\fR functions unset or set the  specified
attributes for window \fIwin\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBattrset()\fR and \fBwattrset()\fR functions change the specified  window
renditions of \fBstdscr\fR and \fIwin\fR to new values;  the old values are not
retained.
.sp
.LP
The attributes that can be used are specified in the  \fBAttributes, Color
Pairs, and Renditions\fR section of the  \fBcurses\fR(3XCURSES) man page.
.sp
.LP
Here is an example that prints some text using the current window rendition,
adds underlining, changes the attributes, prints more text, then changes the
attributes back.
