.TH XREFRESH 1 "Release 5" "X Version 11"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
xrefresh - refresh all or part of an X screen
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B "xrefresh"
|
|
[-option ...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Xrefresh
|
|
is a simple X program that causes all or part of your screen to be repainted.
|
|
This is useful when system messages have messed up your screen.
|
|
.I Xrefresh
|
|
maps a window on top of the desired area of the screen and then immediately
|
|
unmaps it,
|
|
causing refresh events to be sent to all applications. By default,
|
|
a window with no background is used, causing all applications to repaint
|
|
``smoothly.''
|
|
However, the various options can be used to indicate that a solid background
|
|
(of any color) or the root window background should be used instead.
|
|
.SH ARGUMENTS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
.B \-white
|
|
Use a white background. The screen just appears to flash quickly, and then
|
|
repaint.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
.B \-black
|
|
Use a black background (in effect, turning off all of the electron guns to
|
|
the tube). This can be somewhat disorienting as everything goes black for
|
|
a moment.
