+ provide workaround configure-check for bool when cross-compiling. + fix a potential indexing error in _nc_parse_entry(), seen with Herlim's test data using address-sanitizer. + change a null-pointer check in set_curterm to a valid-string check, needed in to tic's use-resolution work pad_char is cancelled (report/testcase by Robert Sebastian Herlim) + improve tic's -c option to validate the number and type of parameters and compare against expected number/type before deciding which set of parameter-lists to use in tparm calls (report/testcase by Robert Sebastian Herlim). + fix a link for tabs.1 manpage in announce.html.in (report by Nick Black), as well as some fixes via linklint.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.SS refresh/wrefresh
|
|
The \fBrefresh\fR and \fBwrefresh\fR routines (or \fBwnoutrefresh\fR and
|
|
\fBdoupdate\fR) must be called to get actual output to the terminal,
|
|
as other routines merely manipulate data structures.
|
|
The routine \fBwrefresh\fR copies
|
|
the named window to the \fIphysical screen\fP,
|
|
taking into account what is already there to do optimizations.
|
|
The \fBrefresh\fR routine is the
|
|
same, using \fBstdscr\fR as the default window.
|
|
Unless \fBleaveok\fR has been
|
|
enabled, the physical cursor of the terminal is left at the location of the
|
|
cursor for that window.
|
|
.SS wnoutrefresh/doupdate
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBwnoutrefresh\fR and \fBdoupdate\fR routines allow multiple updates with
|
|
more efficiency than \fBwrefresh\fR alone.
|
|
In addition to all the window
|
|
structures, \fBcurses\fR keeps two data structures representing the terminal
|
|
screen:
|
|
.bP
|
|
a \fIphysical screen\fP, describing what is actually on the screen, and
|
|
.bP
|
|
a \fIvirtual screen\fP, describing what the programmer wants to have on the screen.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The routine \fBwrefresh\fR works by
|
|
.bP
|
|
first calling \fBwnoutrefresh\fR,
|
|
which copies the named window to the \fIvirtual screen\fP, and
|
|
.bP
|
|
then calling \fBdoupdate\fR, which compares
|
|
the \fIvirtual screen\fP to the \fIphysical screen\fP
|
|
and does the actual update.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the programmer wishes to output several windows at once, a series
|
|
of calls to \fBwrefresh\fR results in alternating calls to \fBwnoutrefresh\fR
|
|
and \fBdoupdate\fR, causing several bursts of output to the screen.
|
|
By first
|
|
calling \fBwnoutrefresh\fR for each window, it is then possible to call
|
|
\fBdoupdate\fR once, resulting in only one burst of output, with fewer total
|
|
characters transmitted and less CPU time used.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the \fIwin\fR argument to
|
|
\fBwrefresh\fR is the \fIphysical screen\fP
|
|
(i.e., the global variable \fBcurscr\fR),
|
|
the screen is immediately cleared and repainted from scratch.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The phrase \*(``copies the named window
|
|
to the virtual screen\*('' above is ambiguous.
|
|
What actually happens is that all \fItouched\fR (changed) lines in the window
|
|
are copied to the virtual screen.
|
|
This affects programs that use overlapping
|
|
windows; it means that if two windows overlap, you can refresh them in either
|
|
order and the overlap region will be modified only when it is explicitly
|
|
changed.
|
|
(But see the section on \fBPORTABILITY\fR below for a warning about
|
|
exploiting this behavior.)
|
|
.SS wredrawln/redrawwin
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBwredrawln\fR routine indicates to \fBcurses\fR that some screen lines
|
|
are corrupted and should be thrown away before anything is written over them.
|
|
It touches the indicated lines (marking them changed).
|
|
The routine \fBredrawwin\fR touches the entire window.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
Routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure, and \fBOK\fR
|
|
(SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
|
|
completion.
|
|
.PP
|
|
X/Open does not define any error conditions.
|
|
In this implementation
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
\fBwnoutrefresh\fP
|
|
returns an error
|
|
if the window pointer is null, or
|
|
if the window is really a pad.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
\fBwredrawln\fP
|
|
returns an error
|
|
if the associated call to \fBtouchln\fP returns an error.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Note that \fBrefresh\fR and \fBredrawwin\fR may be macros.
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Whether \fBwnoutrefresh\fR copies to the virtual screen the entire contents
|
|
of a window or just its changed portions has never been well-documented in
|
|
historic curses versions (including SVr4).
|
|
It might be unwise to rely on
|
|
either behavior in programs that might have to be linked with other curses
|
|
implementations.
|
|
Instead, you can do an explicit \fBtouchwin\fR before the
|
|
\fBwnoutrefresh\fR call to guarantee an entire-contents copy anywhere.
