SYNOPSIS
#include <vgagl.h>
vga gl_setdisplaystart(int x, int y);
DESCRIPTION
Set the physical display start address to the pixel at (x, y).
Can be used for hardware scrolling, or for page flipping (e.g. setdisplaystart(0, HEIGHT) displays from the second page). Make sure the
scanline width (BYTEWIDTH) in bytes of the current context corresponds with the physical screen.
Note also that the display start cannot be set to completely arbitrary points, see vga_setdisplaystart(3).

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.
