GLXSWAPBUFFERS() GLXSWAPBUFFERS()
NAME
glXSwapBuffers - exchange front and back buffers
C SPECIFICATION
void glXSwapBuffers( Display *dpy,
GLXDrawable drawable )
delim $$
PARAMETERS
dpy Specifies the connection to the X server.
drawable Specifies the drawable whose buffers are to be swapped.
DESCRIPTION
glXSwapBuffers promotes the contents of the back buffer of drawable to become the contents of the front buffer of drawable. The contents
of the back buffer then become undefined. The update typically takes place during the vertical retrace of the monitor, rather than immedi-
ately after glXSwapBuffers is called.
glXSwapBuffers performs an implicit glFlush before it returns. Subsequent OpenGL commands may be issued immediately after calling glXSwap-
Buffers, but are not executed until the buffer exchange is completed.
If drawable was not created with respect to a double-buffered visual, glXSwapBuffers has no effect, and no error is generated.
NOTES
The contents of the back buffer become undefined after a swap. Note that this applies to pbuffers as well as windows.
All GLX rendering contexts share the same notion of which are front buffers and which are back buffers. One consequence is that when mul-
tiple clients are rendering to the same double-buffered window, all of them should finish rendering before one of them issues the command
to swap buffers. The clients are responsible for implementing this synchronization. Typically this is accomplished by executing glFinish
and then using a semaphore in shared memory to rendezvous before swapping.
ERRORS
GLXBadDrawable is generated if drawable is not a valid GLX drawable.
GLXBadCurrentWindow is generated if dpy and drawable are respectively the display and drawable associated with the current context of the
calling thread, and drawable identifies a window that is no longer valid.

I'm looking for finer granularity than the 20 ANSI escape sequence screen modes. What I'd like to do is have the terminal increase it's own height when I have to show the user a long menu.
Platform is Cygwin 64 running over Win 7 Pro.

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

Look this very good rendering on Slackware 14.2
in my opinion is near perfect.
