14 Copies or updates the front and back buffers so that what has been
15 drawn previously on the currently selected display becomes visible on
16 screen. Pointers to the special back buffer bitmap remain valid and
17 retain their semantics as the back buffer, although the contents may
18 have changed.

20 Several display options change how this function behaves:
21
22 · With ALLEGRO_SINGLE_BUFFER, no flipping is done. You still have to
23 call this function to display graphics, depending on how the used
24 graphics system works.
25
26 · The ALLEGRO_SWAP_METHOD option may have additional information about
27 what kind of operation is used internally to flip the front and back
28 buffers.
29
30 · If ALLEGRO_VSYNC is 1, this function will force waiting for vsync.
31 If ALLEGRO_VSYNC is 2, this function will not wait for vsync. With
32 many drivers the vsync behavior is controlled by the user and not the
33 application, and ALLEGRO_VSYNC will not be set; in this case
34 al_flip_display(3) will wait for vsync depending on the settings set
35 in the system's graphics preferences.
