XREFRESH(1) AIX XREFRESH(1) NAME xrefresh - refresh all or part of an X screen SYNOPSIS xxxxrrrreeeeffffrrrreeeesssshhhh [-option ...] DESCRIPTION _X_r_e_f_r_e_s_h is a simple X program that causes all or part of your screen to be repainted. This is useful when system messages have messed up your screen. _X_r_e_f_r_e_s_h maps a window on top of the desired area of the screen and then immedi- ately unmaps it, causing refresh events to be sent to all applications. By default, a window with no background is used, causing all applications to repaint ``smoothly.'' How- ever, the various options can be used to indicate that a solid background (of any color) or the root window back- ground should be used instead. ARGUMENTS ----wwwwhhhhiiiitttteeee Use a white background. The screen just appears to flash quickly, and then repaint. ----bbbbllllaaaacccckkkk Use a black background (in effect, turning off all of the electron guns to the tube). This can be somewhat disorienting as everything goes black for a moment. ----ssssoooolllliiiidddd _c_o_l_o_r Use a solid background of the specified color. Try green. ----rrrrooooooootttt Use the root window background. ----nnnnoooonnnneeee This is the default. All of the windows simply repaint. ----ggggeeeeoooommmmeeeettttrrrryyyy _W_x_H+_X+_Y Specifies the portion of the screen to be repainted; see _X(_1). ----ddddiiiissssppppllllaaaayyyy _d_i_s_p_l_a_y This argument allows you to specify the server and screen to refresh; see _X(_1). X DEFAULTS The _x_r_e_f_r_e_s_h program uses the routine _X_G_e_t_D_e_f_a_u_l_t(_3_X) to read defaults, so its resource names are all capitalized. BBBBllllaaaacccckkkk, WWWWhhhhiiiitttteeee, SSSSoooolllliiiidddd, NNNNoooonnnneeee, RRRRooooooootttt Determines what sort of window background to use. GGGGeeeeoooommmmeeeettttrrrryyyy Determines the area to refresh. Not very useful. Rev. Release 5 Page 1 XREFRESH(1) AIX XREFRESH(1) ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY - To get default host and display number.
