What do you mean by "programming codes and others"? Your god might be omniscient, but we are not. So please explain.

This here is a specialized forum for a certain kind of operating system. We can help you understand this special part of the IT world but chances are you might want to learn something completely different. So please answer the following (non-technical) questions:

What exactly do you want to do with a computer?

A computer is a tool and it is built to do certain things. "I want to understand computers" is like "i want to understand hammers". Blacksmiths, goldsmiths, carpenters and masons (and some other professions) all use hammers but their usage and the context it takes place in varies quite fundamentally. So tell us more about what you want to achieve and we can better explain what you might need to learn.

What do you know already?

The best explanation will not help if you are not able to understand it. Look up "Riemannian manifold" in the Wikipedia and chances are you will not be any wiser about what that is. Not because the explanation is bad (actually it is pretty good), but because to understand it you need to know many things, which themselves have the understanding of other things as prerequisite and so forth. So tell us where you are coming from and we can better explain where you should be going.

I hope this helps.

XSelectInput(3) 						  XLIB FUNCTIONS						   XSelectInput(3)

NAME
XSelectInput - select input events SYNTAX
int XSelectInput(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 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 propa- gates 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 CirculateRequest, ConfigureRequest, or MapRequest events, which are associated with the event mask SubstructureRedirectMask. o Only one client at a time can select a ResizeRequest event, which is associated with the event mask ResizeRedirectMask. o Only one client at a time can select a ButtonPress event, which is associated with the event mask ButtonPressMask. The server reports the event to all interested clients. XSelectInput can generate a BadWindow error. DIAGNOSTICS
BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. SEE ALSO
