X11 Double Buffer Extension

The Double Buffer Extension (DBE) provides a standard way to use double-buffering within the framework of the X Window System. Double-buffering uses two buffers, called "front" and "back," that hold images. The front buffer is visible to the user; the back buffer is not. A detailed specification is available via an internet browser in ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/DOCS/DBE/.
