Essentially, a white flag has come to mean "I will not attack you." Example: a person would carry a white flag to approach the enemy lines to discuss exchanging wounded personnel, or to demand the enemy surrender before the next attack, or to offer up surrender. Civilians might hang from their window a white sheet, signaling that no combat troops are inside the house.
