NAME
     swapin - defines a minimum time between buffer swaps

FORTRAN 77 SPECIFICATION
     subroutine swapin(i)
     integer*4 i

PARAMETERS
     i   expects the number of retraces to wait before swapping the front and
         back buffers.  The default interval is 1.

DESCRIPTION
     swapin defines a minimum number of retraces between buffer swaps.  For
     example, for a swap interval of 5, the system refreshes the screen at
     least five times between successive buffer swaps. swapin changes frames
     at a steady rate if a new image can be created within one swap interval.

     Like the swapbu and mswapb commands that it affects, swapin is ignored by
     framebuffers in single buffer mode.

     A single swap interval counter is shared by the normal, overlay, and
     underlay framebuffers.  The interval is enforced between all buffer swap
     requests, regardless of which framebuffers are swapped.
