Function Documentation
   __extern uint32_t caca_get_attr (caca_canvas_t const * cv, int x, int y)
       Get the internal libcaca attribute value of the character at the given
       coordinates. The attribute value has 32 significant bits, organised as
       follows from MSB to LSB:
       · 3 bits for the background alpha

       · 4 bits for the background red component

       · 4 bits for the background green component

       · 3 bits for the background blue component

       · 3 bits for the foreground alpha

       · 4 bits for the foreground red component

       · 4 bits for the foreground green component

       · 3 bits for the foreground blue component

       · 4 bits for the bold, italics, underline and blink flags

       If the coordinates are outside the canvas boundaries, the current
       attribute is returned.

       This function never fails.

       Parameters:
           cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
           x X coordinate.
           y Y coordinate.

       Returns:
           The requested attribute.

   __extern int caca_set_attr (caca_canvas_t * cv, uint32_t attr) Set the
       default character attribute for drawing. Attributes define foreground
       and background colour, transparency, bold, italics and underline
       styles, as well as blink. String functions such as caca_printf() and
       graphical primitive functions such as caca_draw_line() will use this
       attribute.
       The value of attr is either:

       · a 32-bit integer as returned by caca_get_attr(), in which case it
         also contains colour information,

       · a combination (bitwise OR) of style values (CACA_UNDERLINE,
         CACA_BLINK, CACA_BOLD and CACA_ITALICS), in which case setting the
         attribute does not modify the current colour information.

       To retrieve the current attribute value, use caca_get_attr(-1,-1).

       This function never fails.

       Parameters:
           cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
           attr The requested attribute value.

       Returns:
           This function always returns 0.

   __extern int caca_put_attr (caca_canvas_t * cv, int x, int y, uint32_t
       attr) Set the character attribute, without changing the character's
       value. If the character at the given coordinates is a fullwidth
       character, both cells' attributes are replaced.
       The value of attr is either:

       · a 32-bit integer as returned by caca_get_attr(), in which case it
         also contains colour information,

       · a combination (bitwise OR) of style values (CACA_UNDERLINE,
         CACA_BLINK, CACA_BOLD and CACA_ITALICS), in which case setting the
         attribute does not modify the current colour information.

       This function never fails.

       Parameters:
           cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
           x X coordinate.
           y Y coordinate.
           attr The requested attribute value.

       Returns:
           This function always returns 0.

   __extern int caca_set_color_ansi (caca_canvas_t * cv, uint8_t fg, uint8_t
       bg) Set the default ANSI colour pair for text drawing. String functions
       such as caca_printf() and graphical primitive functions such as
       caca_draw_line() will use these attributes.
       Color values are those defined in caca.h, such as CACA_RED or
       CACA_TRANSPARENT.

       If an error occurs, 0 is returned and errno is set accordingly:

       · EINVAL At least one of the colour values is invalid.

       Parameters:
           cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
           fg The requested ANSI foreground colour.
           bg The requested ANSI background colour.

       Returns:
           0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.

   __extern int caca_set_color_argb (caca_canvas_t * cv, uint16_t fg, uint16_t
       bg) Set the default ARGB colour pair for text drawing. String functions
       such as caca_printf() and graphical primitive functions such as
       caca_draw_line() will use these attributes.
       Colors are 16-bit ARGB values, each component being coded on 4 bits.
       For instance, 0xf088 is solid dark cyan (A=15 R=0 G=8 B=8), and 0x8fff
       is white with 50% alpha (A=8 R=15 G=15 B=15).

       This function never fails.

       Parameters:
           cv A handle to the libcaca canvas.
           fg The requested ARGB foreground colour.
           bg The requested ARGB background colour.

       Returns:
           This function always returns 0.

   __extern uint8_t caca_attr_to_ansi (uint32_t attr) Get the ANSI colour pair
       for a given attribute. The returned value is an 8-bit value whose
       higher 4 bits are the background colour and lower 4 bits are the
       foreground colour.
       If the attribute has ARGB colours, the nearest colour is used. Special
       attributes such as CACA_DEFAULT and CACA_TRANSPARENT are not handled
       and are both replaced with CACA_LIGHTGRAY for the foreground colour and
       CACA_BLACK for the background colour.

       This function never fails. If the attribute value is outside the
       expected 32-bit range, higher order bits are simply ignored.

       Parameters:
           attr The requested attribute value.

       Returns:
           The corresponding DOS ANSI value.

       References CACA_BLACK, and CACA_LIGHTGRAY.

   __extern uint8_t caca_attr_to_ansi_fg (uint32_t attr) Get the ANSI
       foreground colour value for a given attribute. The returned value is
       either one of the CACA_RED, CACA_BLACK etc. predefined colours, or the
       special value CACA_DEFAULT meaning the media's default foreground
       value, or the special value CACA_TRANSPARENT.
       If the attribute has ARGB colours, the nearest colour is returned.

       This function never fails. If the attribute value is outside the
       expected 32-bit range, higher order bits are simply ignored.

       Parameters:
           attr The requested attribute value.

       Returns:
           The corresponding ANSI foreground value.

   __extern uint8_t caca_attr_to_ansi_bg (uint32_t attr) Get the ANSI
       background colour value for a given attribute. The returned value is
       either one of the CACA_RED, CACA_BLACK etc. predefined colours, or the
       special value CACA_DEFAULT meaning the media's default background
       value, or the special value CACA_TRANSPARENT.
       If the attribute has ARGB colours, the nearest colour is returned.

       This function never fails. If the attribute value is outside the
       expected 32-bit range, higher order bits are simply ignored.

       Parameters:
           attr The requested attribute value.

       Returns:
           The corresponding ANSI background value.

   __extern uint16_t caca_attr_to_rgb12_fg (uint32_t attr) Get the 12-bit
       foreground colour value for a given attribute. The returned value is a
       native-endian encoded integer with each red, green and blue values
       encoded on 8 bits in the following order:
       · 8-11 most significant bits: red

       · 4-7 most significant bits: green

       · least significant bits: blue

       This function never fails. If the attribute value is outside the
       expected 32-bit range, higher order bits are simply ignored.

       Parameters:
           attr The requested attribute value.

       Returns:
           The corresponding 12-bit RGB foreground value.

   __extern uint16_t caca_attr_to_rgb12_bg (uint32_t attr) Get the 12-bit
       background colour value for a given attribute. The returned value is a
       native-endian encoded integer with each red, green and blue values
       encoded on 8 bits in the following order:
       · 8-11 most significant bits: red

       · 4-7 most significant bits: green

       · least significant bits: blue

       This function never fails. If the attribute value is outside the
       expected 32-bit range, higher order bits are simply ignored.

   __extern void caca_attr_to_argb64 (uint32_t attr, uint8_t argb[8]) Get the
       64-bit colour and alpha values for a given attribute. The values are
       written as 8-bit integers in the argb array in the following order:
       · argb[0]: background alpha value

       · argb[1]: background red value

       · argb[2]: background green value

       · argb[3]: background blue value
