<hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The DMX server code is written to call <a class="el" href="dmxsync_8c.html#a9">dmxSync()</a> whenever an XSync() might be necessary. However, since XSync() requires a two way communication with the other X server, eliminating unnecessary XSync() calls is a key performance optimization. Support for this optimization is provided in #dmxsync.c. This file provides routines that evaluate this optimization by counting the number of XSync() calls and monitoring their latency. This functionality can be turned on using the -stat command-line parameter.<hr><h2>Typedef Documentation</h2>

Turn on XSync statistic gathering and printing. Print every <em>interval</em> seconds, with lines for the first <em>displays</em>. If <em>interval</em> is NULL, 1 will be used. If <em>displays</em> is NULL, 0 will be used (meaning a line for every display will be printed). Note that this function takes string arguments because it will usually be called from <a class="el" href="dmxinit_8c.html#a40">ddxProcessArgument</a> in #dmxinit.c.     </td>
