.SH NAME
vga_waitretrace \- wait for vertical retrace.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "#include <vga.h>"
.BI "void vga_waitretrace(void);"
.SH DESCRIPTION
Wait for vertical retrace, that is when the video beam goes dark and returns from the
bottom line to the top line. Useful to synchronize animation with
monitor refresh.
However, Linux is a multiuser OS, thus some time might have passed already when the
function returns. Also, not all cards support this in all modes (or with more or
less good results).

This manual page was edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de>. The
exact source of the referenced function as well as of the original documentation is
unknown.
It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to
Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.
Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby
asked to be excused by the original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections
to this first version of the svgalib manual.
