swapbuffers(3G)
swapbuffers - exchanges the front and back buffers of the normal framebuffer
Showing IRIX 6.5.30 (default release). Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME swapbuffers - exchanges the front and back buffers of the normal framebuffer C SPECIFICATION void swapbuffers() PARAMETERS none DESCRIPTION swapbuffers causes the front and back buffers of the normal framebuffer to be exchanged during the next vertical retrace period. Once an image is fully drawn in the back buffer, swapbuffers displays it. swapbuffers is ignored when the normal framebuffer is in single buffer mode. It has no effect on the overlay, underlay, or popup framebuffers, regardless of the current draw mode. To swap overlay or underlay buffers, or to swap buffers in more than one framebuffer simultaneously, you must use mswapbuffers. SEE ALSO doublebuffer, drawmode, mswapbuffers, swapinterval
