NAME
curses_default_colors,
assume_default_colors,
use_default_colors
- curses default colors setting routines
LIBRARY
Curses Library (libcurses, -lcurses)
SYNOPSIS
int
assume_default_colors(
short fore
, short back
)
int
use_default_colors(
)
DESCRIPTION
These functions tell the curses library to set the default colors or to use
the terminal's default colors instead of using the default colors for curses
applications (which are white foreground on black background).
The function
assume_default_colors(
fore
, back
)
sets the default colors to foreground color
fore
and background color
back
.
If a value of -1 is used for a color, then the terminal default color is used
for that color.
The function
use_default_colors(
)
sets both the foreground and background colors to the terminal default colors.
This is equivalent to
assume_default_colors(
-1
, -1
).
RETURN VALUES
These functions return OK on success and ERR on failure.

STANDARDS

ncurses
extensions to the curses standards.
