NAME

xrefresh - refresh all windows on the screen. 

SYNOPSIS

xrefresh [ host:display ]

DESCRIPTION

Xrefresh is a trivial X program to cause your screen to be completely repainted.  Xrefresh just throws a window over the whole screen and unmaps it, causing refresh events to be sent to all applications. 

ARGUMENT SUMMARY

host:display This  argument  allow  you  to  specify the host and display number on which to display the window dump.  For example “xrefresh orpheus:1” would specify that the dump will appear on display ‘1’ on the machine ‘orpheus’.  By default, xrefresh uses the host and display number stored in the environment variable DISPLAY, and therefore this argument is not normally specified. 

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY - To get default host and display number.
