UPDATE_PANELS(3)        NetBSD Library Functions Manual       UPDATE_PANELS(3)


NAME

     update_panels -- update terminal display


LIBRARY

     Z-order for curses windows (libpanel, -lpanel)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <panel.h>

     void
     update_panels(void);


DESCRIPTION

     The update_panels() function performs the internal processing required by
     the panel library to determine what changes need to be made to synchro-
     nise the curses internal screen buffer and the terminal but does not mod-
     ify 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 win-
     dows 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 dis-
     play.
