xselectinput
XSelectInput(3X11) MIT X11R4 XSelectInput(3X11)
Name
XSelectInput - select input events
Syntax
XSelectInput(display, w, event_mask)
Display *display;
Window w;
long event_mask;
Arguments
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
event_mask
Specifies the event mask.
w Specifies the window whose events you are interested in.
Description
The 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.
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:
o 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.
o Only one client at a time can select or events, which are associated with the event mask
o Only one client at a time can select a event, which is associated with the event mask
o Only one client at a time can select a event, which is associated with the event mask
The server reports the event to all interested clients.
can generate a error.
Diagnostics
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
