NAME

       tickit_term_set_output_buffer - define a terminal output buffer

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tickit.h>

       void tickit_term_set_output_buffer(TickitTerm *tt, size_t len);

       Link with -ltickit.

DESCRIPTION

       tickit_term_set_output_buffer()  sets  up  an  output  buffer  of the given size, to store
       output bytes pending being written to the output file  descriptor,  or  using  the  output
       function.  The value 0 may be given to indicate that no buffer should be used. This buffer
       is not directly accessible.

       If a buffer is defined, then none of the drawing functions will immediately create  output
       either  to  the file descriptor or the output function. Instead, they will append into the
       buffer, to be flushed by calling tickit_term_flush(3). If the buffer fills completely as a
       result  of  being  written to by a drawing function, it will be flushed to the appropriate
       output method.

RETURN VALUE

       tickit_term_set_output_buffer() returns no value.
