xrefresh

xrefresh(1X)															      xrefresh(1X)

NAME

       xrefresh - refresh all or part of an X screen

SYNOPSIS

       xrefresh [-option...]

OPTIONS

       Use a white background.	The screen just appears to flash quickly, and then repaint.  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.  Use a solid  background  of  the
       specified color.  Try green.  Use the root window background.  This is the default.  All of the windows simply repaint.	Specifies the por-
       tion of the screen to be repainted; see X(1X).  This argument allows you to specify the server and screen to refresh; see X(1X).

DESCRIPTION

       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.  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.

X DEFAULTS

       The  xrefresh program uses the routine XGetDefault(3X11) to read defaults, so its resource names are all capitalized.  Determines what sort
       of window background to use.  Determines the area to refresh.  Not very useful.

ENVIRONMENT

       To get default host and display number.

BUGS

       It should have just one default type for the background.
