UPDATE_PANELS(3)           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
     synchronise the curses internal screen buffer and the terminal but does
     not modify 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
     windows 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
     display.
