Описание (Description)
refresh/wrefresh
The refresh
and wrefresh
routines (or wnoutrefresh
and doupdate
)
must be called to get actual output to the terminal, as other
routines merely manipulate data structures. The routine wrefresh
copies the named window to the physical screen, taking into
account what is already there to do optimizations. The refresh
routine is the same, using stdscr
as the default window. Unless
leaveok
has been enabled, the physical cursor of the terminal is
left at the location of the cursor for that window.
wnoutrefresh/doupdate
The wnoutrefresh
and doupdate
routines allow multiple updates
with more efficiency than wrefresh
alone. In addition to all the
window structures, curses
keeps two data structures representing
the terminal screen:
• a physical screen, describing what is actually on the screen,
and
• a virtual screen, describing what the programmer wants to
have on the screen.
The routine wrefresh
works by
• first calling wnoutrefresh
, which copies the named window to
the virtual screen, and
• then calling doupdate
, which compares the virtual screen to
the physical screen and does the actual update.
If the programmer wishes to output several windows at once, a
series of calls to wrefresh
results in alternating calls to
wnoutrefresh
and doupdate
, causing several bursts of output to
the screen. By first calling wnoutrefresh
for each window, it is
then possible to call doupdate
once, resulting in only one burst
of output, with fewer total characters transmitted and less CPU
time used.
If the win argument to wrefresh
is the physical screen (i.e., the
global variable curscr
), the screen is immediately cleared and
repainted from scratch.
The phrase 'copies the named window to the virtual screen' above
is ambiguous. What actually happens is that all touched
(changed) lines in the window are copied to the virtual screen.
This affects programs that use overlapping windows; it means that
if two windows overlap, you can refresh them in either order and
the overlap region will be modified only when it is explicitly
changed. (But see the section on PORTABILITY
below for a warning
about exploiting this behavior.)
wredrawln/redrawwin
The wredrawln
routine indicates to curses
that some screen lines
are corrupted and should be thrown away before anything is
written over them. It touches the indicated lines (marking them
changed). The routine redrawwin
touches the entire window.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
Routines that return an integer return ERR
upon failure, and OK
(SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than ERR
") upon
successful completion.
X/Open does not define any error conditions. In this
implementation
wnoutrefresh
returns an error if the window pointer is null, or if the
window is really a pad.
wredrawln
returns an error if the associated call to touchln
returns an error.
Примечание (Note)
Note that refresh
and redrawwin
may be macros.
Портативность (Portability)
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.
Whether wnoutrefresh
copies to the virtual screen the entire
contents of a window or just its changed portions has never been
well-documented in historic curses versions (including SVr4). It
might be unwise to rely on either behavior in programs that might
have to be linked with other curses implementations. Instead,
you can do an explicit touchwin
before the wnoutrefresh
call to
guarantee an entire-contents copy anywhere.
