show_video_bitmap(3alleg4) Allegro manual show_video_bitmap(3alleg4)NAME
show_video_bitmap - Flips the hardware screen to use the specified page. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int show_video_bitmap(BITMAP *bitmap);
DESCRIPTION
Attempts to page flip the hardware screen to display the specified video bitmap object, which must be the same size as the physical screen,
and should have been obtained by calling the create_video_bitmap() function.
Allegro will handle any necessary vertical retrace synchronisation when page flipping, so you don't need to call vsync() before it. This
means that show_video_bitmap() has the same time delay effects as vsync() by default. This can be adjusted with the "disable_vsync" config
key in the [graphics] section of allegro.cfg. Example:
int current_page;
BITMAP *video_page[2];
...
/* Create pages for page flipping */
video_page[0] = create_video_bitmap(SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
video_page[1] = create_video_bitmap(SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
current_page = 0;
...
/* draw the screen and flip pages */
draw_screen(video_page[current_page]);
show_video_bitmap(video_page[current_page]);
current_page = (current_page+1)%2;
...
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero on success and non-zero on failure.

request_video_bitmap - Triple buffering page flip request. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int request_video_bitmap(BITMAP *bitmap);
DESCRIPTION
This function is used for triple buffering. It requests a page flip to display the specified video bitmap object, but returns immediately
rather than waiting for a retrace. The flip will then take place during the next vertical retrace, but you can carry on running other code
in the meantime and use the poll_scroll() routine to detect when the flip has actually taken place. Triple buffering is only possible on
certain hardware: see the comments about request_scroll(). Example:
int current_page;
BITMAP *video_page[3];
...
/* Create pages for page flipping */
video_page[0] = create_video_bitmap(SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
video_page[1] = create_video_bitmap(SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
video_page[2] = create_video_bitmap(SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
current_page = 0;
...
/* draw the screen and flip pages */
draw_screen(video_page[current_page]);
do {
} while (poll_scroll());
request_video_bitmap(video_page[current_page]);
current_page = (current_page+1)%3;
...
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero on success and non-zero on failure.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:
