The <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> and <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> routines (or <STRONG>wnoutrefresh</STRONG> and
<STRONG>doupdate</STRONG>) must be called to get actual output to the ter-
minal, as other routines merely manipulate data struc-

dow.

The <STRONG>wnoutrefresh</STRONG> and <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG> routines allow multiple up-
dates with more efficiency than <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> alone. In addi-
tion to all the window structures, <STRONG>curses</STRONG> keeps two data

exploiting this behavior.)

The <STRONG>wredrawln</STRONG> routine indicates to <STRONG>curses</STRONG> that some screen
lines are corrupted and should be thrown away before any-
thing is written over them. It touches the indicated
- lines (marking them changed). The routine <STRONG>redrawwin</STRONG>()

behavior in programs that might have to be linked with
other curses implementations. Instead, you can do an ex-

- antee an entire-contents copy anywhere.
