2012-03-10 09:54:54 -07:00
This extension is a minimal set of client and server extensions required to completely test the X11 server with no user intervention\&. This extension is not intended to support general journaling and playback of user actions\&.
2007-09-18 15:23:49 -06:00
.PP
The functions provided by this extension fall into two groups:
2012-03-10 09:54:54 -07:00
.PP
\fBClient Operations\fR
.RS 4
These routines manipulate otherwise hidden client\-side behavior\&. The actual implementation will depend on the details of the actual language binding and what degree of request buffering, GContext caching, and so on, is provided\&. In the C binding, routines are provided to access the internals of two opaque data structures \(em
2007-09-18 15:23:49 -06:00
GCs and
2012-03-10 09:54:54 -07:00
Visuals \(em and to discard any requests pending within the output buffer of a connection\&. The exact details can be expected to differ for other language bindings\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBServer Requests\fR
.RS 4
The first of these requests is similar to that provided in most extensions: it allows a client to specify a major and minor version number to the server and for the server to respond with major and minor versions of its own\&. The remaining two requests allow the following:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
2007-09-18 15:23:49 -06:00
Access to an otherwise
\fIwrite\-only\fR
server resource: the cursor associated with a given window
2012-03-10 09:54:54 -07:00
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Perhaps most importantly, limited synthesis of input device events, almost as if a cooperative user had moved the pointing device or pressed a key or button\&.

All XTEST extension functions and procedures, and all manifest constants and macros, will start with the string
2012-03-10 09:54:54 -07:00
\fIXTest\fR\&. All operations are classified as server/client (Server) or client\-only (Client)\&.

.PP
\fBXTestQueryExtension\fR
returns
True
if the specified display supports the XTEST extension, else
2012-03-10 09:54:54 -07:00
False\&. If the extension is supported, *event_base would be set to the event number for the first event for this extension and *error_base would be set to the error number for the first error for this extension\&. As no errors or events are defined for this version of the extension, the values returned here are not defined (nor useful)\&. If the extension is supported, *major_version and *minor_version are set to the major and minor version numbers of the extension supported by the display\&. Otherwise, none of the arguments are set\&.
2007-09-18 15:23:49 -06:00
.PP
If the extension is supported,
\fBXTestCompareCursorWithWindow\fR
performs a comparison of the cursor whose ID is specified by cursor (which may be

True
if they are the same and
False
2012-03-10 09:54:54 -07:00
otherwise\&. If the extension is not supported, then the request is ignored and zero is returned\&.

If the extension is supported,
\fBXTestCompareCurrentCursorWithWindow\fR
performs a comparison of the current cursor with the cursor of the specified window returning
True

False
2012-03-10 09:54:54 -07:00
otherwise\&. If the extension is not supported, then the request is ignored and zero is returned\&.
