XdbeSwapBuffers(3)		   X FUNCTIONS		      XdbeSwapBuffers(3)

NAME
     XdbeSwapBuffers - swaps front and back DBE buffers.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <X11/extensions/Xdbe.h>

     Status XdbeSwapBuffers(
	 Display      *dpy,
	 XdbeSwapInfo *swap_info,
	 int	      num_windows)

DESCRIPTION
     This  function swaps the front and back buffers for a list of windows.  The
     argument num_windows specifies how many windows are to have  their  buffers
     swapped; it is the number of elements in the swap_info array.  The argument
     swap_info specifies the information needed per window to do the swap.

     The XdbeSwapInfo structure has the following fields:

	  Window	    swap_window
	  XdbeSwapAction    swap_action

     swap_window  specifies  the  window for which to swap buffers.  swap_action
     specifies the swap action to use for this swap_window.

     swap_action determines what will happen to  the  new  back  buffer  of  the
     swap_window  it  is  paired  with in the list in addition to making the old
     back buffer become visible.  The defined actions are as follows:

     XdbeUndefined
	    The contents of the new back buffer become undefined.  This  may  be
	    the most efficient action since it allows the implementation to dis-
	    card the contents of the buffer if it needs to.

     XdbeBackground
	    The  unobscured region of the new back buffer will be tiled with the
	    window background.	The background action allows devices  to  use  a
	    fast clear capability during a swap.

     XdbeUntouched
	    The  unobscured  region of the new back buffer will be unmodified by
	    the swap.

     XdbeCopied
	    The unobscured region of the new back buffer will be the contents of
	    the old back buffer

ERRORS
     BadMatch
	    A non-double-buffered window was specified or a window was specified
	    twice.

     BadWindow
	    An invalid window was specified.

     BadValue
	    An invalid swap action was specified.
