NAME
update_panels —
update terminal display
LIBRARY
library “libpanel”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<panel.h>
void
update_panels(void);
DESCRIPTION
Theupdate_panels()
function performs the internal processing required by the panel library to
determine what changes need to be made to synchronise the curses internal
screen buffer and the terminal but does not modify the terminal display.
This function will internally perform the
required calls to
touchoverlap(3) and
wnoutrefresh(3) in the correct order. You should never
directly call curses functions like
wnoutrefresh(3) on panel windows yourself. Remember, that
stdscr is below all panels and any changes to it
also require calling
update_panels().
Finally, call the curses function doupdate(3) to update the terminal display.
