.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.ZN XSendEvent
|
||
|
|
function identifies the destination window,
|
||
|
|
determines which clients should receive the specified events,
|
||
|
|
and ignores any active grabs.
|
||
|
|
This function requires you to pass an event mask.
|
||
|
|
For a discussion of the valid event mask names,
|
||
|
|
see section 10.3.
|
||
|
|
This function uses the w argument to identify the destination window as follows:
|
||
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
||
|
|
If w is
|
||
|
|
.ZN PointerWindow ,
|
||
|
|
the destination window is the window that contains the pointer.
|
||
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
||
|
|
If w is
|
||
|
|
.ZN InputFocus
|
||
|
|
and if the focus window contains the pointer,
|
||
|
|
the destination window is the window that contains the pointer;
|
||
|
|
otherwise, the destination window is the focus window.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
To determine which clients should receive the specified events,
|
||
|
|
.ZN XSendEvent
|
||
|
|
uses the propagate argument as follows:
|
||
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
||
|
|
If event_mask is the empty set,
|
||
|
|
the event is sent to the client that created the destination window.
|
||
|
|
If that client no longer exists,
|
||
|
|
no event is sent.
|
||
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
||
|
|
If propagate is
|
||
|
|
.ZN False ,
|
||
|
|
the event is sent to every client selecting on destination any of the event
|
||
|
|
types in the event_mask argument.
|
||
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
||
|
|
If propagate is
|
||
|
|
.ZN True
|
||
|
|
and no clients have selected on destination any of
|
||
|
|
the event types in event-mask, the destination is replaced with the
|
||
|
|
closest ancestor of destination for which some client has selected a
|
||
|
|
type in event-mask and for which no intervening window has that type in its
|
||
|
|
do-not-propagate-mask.
|
||
|
|
If no such window exists or if the window is
|
||
|
|
an ancestor of the focus window and
|
||
|
|
.ZN InputFocus
|
||
|
|
was originally specified
|
||
|
|
as the destination, the event is not sent to any clients.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, the event is reported to every client selecting on the final
|
||
|
|
destination any of the types specified in event_mask.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
The event in the
|
||
|
|
.ZN XEvent
|
||
|
|
structure must be one of the core events or one of the events
|
||
|
|
defined by an extension (or a
|
||
|
|
.ZN BadValue
|
||
|
|
error results) so that the X server can correctly byte-swap
|
||
|
|
the contents as necessary.
|
||
|
|
The contents of the event are
|
||
|
|
otherwise unaltered and unchecked by the X server except to force send_event to
|
||
|
|
.ZN True
|
||
|
|
in the forwarded event and to set the serial number in the event correctly;
|
||
|
|
therefore these fields
|
||
|
|
and the display field are ignored by
|
||
|
|
.ZN XSendEvent .
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
.ZN XSendEvent
|
||
|
|
returns zero if the conversion to wire protocol format failed
|
||
|
|
and returns nonzero otherwise.
|
||
|
|
.ZN XSendEvent
|
||
|
|
can generate
|
||
|
|
.ZN BadValue
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.ZN BadWindow
|
||
|
|
errors.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
The server may retain the recent history of the pointer motion
|
||
|
|
and do so to a finer granularity than is reported by
|
||
|
|
.ZN MotionNotify
|
||
|
|
events.
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.ZN XGetMotionEvents
|
||
|
|
function makes this history available.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.ZN XGetMotionEvents
|
||
|
|
function returns all events in the motion history buffer that fall between the
|
||
|
|
specified start and stop times, inclusive, and that have coordinates
|
||
|
|
that lie within the specified window (including its borders) at its present
|
||
|
|
placement.
|
||
|
|
If the server does not support motion history,
|
||
|
|
if the start time is later than the stop time,
|
||
|
|
or if the start time is in the future,
|
||
|
|
no events are returned;
|
||
|
|
.ZN XGetMotionEvents
|
||
|
|
returns NULL.
|
||
|
|
If the stop time is in the future, it is equivalent to specifying
|
||
|
|
.ZN CurrentTime .
|
||
|
|
.ZN XGetMotionEvents
|
||
|
|
can generate a
|
||
|
|
.ZN BadWindow
|
||
|
|
error.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|

|
|
.TP 1i
|
||
|
|
.ZN BadValue
|
||
|
|
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
|
||
|
|
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
|
||
|
|
by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
|
||
|
|
alternatives can generate this error.
|
||
|
|
.TP 1i
|
||
|
|
.ZN BadWindow
|
||
|
|
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
