It's quite easy, let me demonstrate it with this
example program:


/* curses_attributes_test.c (-lncurses required) */

#include <curses.h>

int main(void)
{
	initscr();
	cbreak();
	noecho();
	nonl();
	intrflush(stdscr, FALSE);
	keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
	start_color();


	attrset(A_NORMAL);
	printw("Normal display (no highlight)\n");
	printw("\n");

	attrset(A_STANDOUT);
	printw("Best highlighting mode of the terminal.\n");
	printw("\n");

	attrset(A_UNDERLINE);
	printw("Underlining\n");
	printw("\n");

	attrset(A_REVERSE);
	printw("Reverse video\n");
	printw("\n");

	attrset(A_BLINK);
	printw("Blinking\n");
	printw("\n");

	attrset(A_DIM);
	printw("Half bright\n");
	printw("\n");

	attrset(A_BOLD);
	printw("Extra bright or bold\n");
	printw("\n");

	refresh();

	return 0;
}

The initsrc() funtion is the key.

But in the manpage. :-)
