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. :-)
