.Dd October 13, 2002 .Dt CURSES_DEFAULT_COLORS 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm curses_default_colors , .Nm assume_default_colors , .Nm use_default_colors .Nd curses default colors setting routines .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libcurses .Sh SYNOPSIS n curses.h .Ft int .Fn assume_default_colors "short fore" "short back" .Ft int .Fn use_default_colors "" .Sh 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).
p The function .Fn assume_default_colors fore back sets the default colors to foreground color .Fa fore and background color .Fa back . If a value of -1 is used for a color, then the terminal default color is used for that color.
p The function .Fn use_default_colors sets both the foreground and background colors to the terminal default colors. This is equivalent to .Fn assume_default_colors -1 -1 . .Sh RETURN VALUES These functions return OK on success and ERR on failure. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr curses_color 3 .Sh STANDARDS These functions are based on .Em ncurses extensions to the curses standards. .Sh HISTORY These functions first appeared in .Nx 2.0 .
