NAME
       xrefresh - refresh all or part of an X screen

SYNOPSIS
       xrefresh [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Xrefresh	 is  a simple X program that causes all or part of your screen
       to be repainted.	 This is useful when system messages  have  messed  up
       your  screen.  Xrefresh maps a window on top of the desired area of the
       screen and then immediately unmaps it, causing  refresh	events	to  be
       sent  to	 all applications.  By default, a window with no background is
       used, causing all applications to repaint ``smoothly.''	 However,  the
       various options can be used to indicate that a solid background (of any
       color) or the root window background should be used instead.

ARGUMENTS
       -white	 Use a white background.  The screen  just  appears  to	 flash
		 quickly, and then repaint.

       -black	 Use  a	 black	background  (in effect, turning off all of the
		 electron guns to the tube).  This can be somewhat  disorientā€
		 ing as everything goes black for a moment.

       -solid color
		 Use a solid background of the specified color.	 Try green.

       -root	 Use the root window background.

       -none	 This is the default.  All of the windows simply repaint.

       -geometry WxH+X+Y
		 Specifies  the	 portion  of  the  screen to be repainted; see
		 X(7).

       -display display
		 This  argument	 allows	  you	to   specify  the  server  and
		 screen to refresh; see X(7).

X DEFAULTS
       The  xrefresh program uses the routine XGetDefault(3) to read defaults,
       so its resource names are all capitalized.

       Black, White, Solid, None, Root
	       Determines what sort of window background to use.

       Geometry
	       Determines the area to refresh.	Not very useful.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY - To get default host and display number.

SEE ALSO
       X(7)

BUGS
       It should have just one default type for the background.
