XFlush(3X11)							     MIT X11R4							      XFlush(3X11)

Name
       XFlush, XSync, XEventsQueued, XPending - handle output buffer or event queue

Syntax
       XFlush(display)
	  Display *display;

       XSync(display, discard)
	  Display *display;
	  Bool discard;

       int XEventsQueued(display, mode)
	  Display *display;
	  int mode;

       int XPending(display)
	  Display *display;

Arguments
       discard	 Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether discards all events on the event queue.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       mode	 Specifies the mode.  You can pass or

Description
       The function flushes the output buffer.	Most client applications need not use this function because the output buffer is automatically
       flushed as needed by calls to and Events generated by the server may be enqueued into the library's event queue.

       The function flushes the output buffer and then waits until all requests have been received and processed by the X server.  Any errors gen-
       erated must be handled by the error handler.  For each error event received by Xlib, calls the client application's error handling routine.
       Any events generated by the server are enqueued into the library's event queue.

       If mode is returns the number of events already in the event queue (and never performs a system call).  If mode is returns the number of
       events already in the queue if the number is nonzero.  If there are no events in the queue, flushes the output buffer, attempts to read
       more events out of the application's connection, and returns the number read.  If mode is returns the number of events already in the queue
       if the number is nonzero.  If there are no events in the queue, attempts to read more events out of the application's connection without

NAME
XFlush, XSync, XEventsQueued, XPending - handle output buffer or event queue SYNOPSIS
XFlush(display) Display *display; XSync(display, discard) Display *display; Bool discard; int XEventsQueued(display, mode) Display *display; int mode; int XPending(display) Display *display; ARGUMENTS
Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether XSync discards all events on the event queue. Specifies the connection to the X server. Specifies the mode. You can pass QueuedAlready, QueuedAfterFlush, or QueuedAfterReading. DESCRIPTION
The XFlush function flushes the output buffer. Most client applications need not use this function because the output buffer is automati- cally flushed as needed by calls to XPending, XNextEvent, and XWindowEvent. Events generated by the server may be enqueued into the library's event queue. The XSync function flushes the output buffer and then waits until all requests have been received and processed by the X server. Any errors generated must be handled by the error handler. For each protocol error received by Xlib, XSync calls the client application's error handling routine (see section 11.8.2). Any events generated by the server are enqueued into the library's event queue. Finally, if you passed False, XSync does not discard the events in the queue. If you passed True, XSync discards all events in the queue, including those events that were on the queue before XSync was called. Client applications seldom need to call XSync. If mode is QueuedAlready, XEventsQueued returns the number of events already in the event queue (and never performs a system call). If mode is QueuedAfterFlush, XEventsQueued returns the number of events already in the queue if the number is nonzero. If there are no events in the queue, XEventsQueued flushes the output buffer, attempts to read more events out of the application's connection, and returns the num- ber read. If mode is QueuedAfterReading, XEventsQueued returns the number of events already in the queue if the number is nonzero. If there are no events in the queue, XEventsQueued attempts to read more events out of the application's connection without flushing the output buf- fer and returns the number read. XEventsQueued always returns immediately without I/O if there are events already in the queue. XEventsQueued with mode QueuedAfterFlush is identical in behavior to XPending. XEventsQueued with mode QueuedAlready is identical to the XQLength function. The XPending function returns the number of events that have been received from the X server but have not been removed from the event queue. XPending is identical to XEventsQueued with the mode QueuedAfterFlush specified. SEE ALSO
