.SH ARGUMENTS
|
|
.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
|
|
Specifies the connection to the X server.
|
|
.IP \fIevent_mask\fP 1i
|
|
Specifies the event mask.
|
|
.IP \fIw\fP 1i
|
|
Specifies the window whose events you are interested in.
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B XSelectInput
|
|
function requests that the X server report the events associated with the
|
|
specified event mask.
|
|
Initially, X will not report any of these events.
|
|
Events are reported relative to a window.
|
|
If a window is not interested in a device event, it usually propagates to
|
|
the closest ancestor that is interested,
|
|
unless the do_not_propagate mask prohibits it.
|
|
.IN "Event" "propagation"
|
|
.LP
|
|
Setting the event-mask attribute of a window overrides any previous call
|
|
for the same window but not for other clients.
|
|
Multiple clients can select for the same events on the same window
|
|
with the following restrictions:
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
|
Multiple clients can select events on the same window because their event masks
|
|
are disjoint.
|
|
When the X server generates an event, it reports it
|
|
to all interested clients.
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
|
Only one client at a time can select
|
|
.BR CirculateRequest ,
|
|
.BR ConfigureRequest ,
|
|
or
|
|
.B MapRequest
|
|
events, which are associated with
|
|
the event mask
|
|
.BR SubstructureRedirectMask .
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
|
Only one client at a time can select
|
|
a
|
|
.B ResizeRequest
|
|
event, which is associated with
|
|
the event mask
|
|
.BR ResizeRedirectMask .
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
|
Only one client at a time can select a
|
|
.B ButtonPress
|
|
event, which is associated with
|
|
the event mask
|
|
.BR ButtonPressMask .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The server reports the event to all interested clients.
|
|

|
