XDestroyWindow()														  XDestroyWindow()

Name
  XDestroyWindow - unmap and destroy a window and all subwindows.

Synopsis
  XDestroyWindow(display, w)
	Display *display;
	Window w;

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  w	    Specifies the ID of the window to be destroyed.

Description
  If  w  is  mapped, an UnmapWindow request is performed automatically.  The window and all inferiors (recursively) are then destroyed, and a
  DestroyNotify event is generated for each window.  The ordering of the DestroyNotify events is such that for any given  window,  DestroyNo-
  tify	is generated on all inferiors of the window before being generated on the window itself.  The ordering among siblings and across sub-
  hierarchies is not otherwise constrained.

  The windows should never again be referenced.

  Destroying a mapped window will generate exposure events on other windows that were obscured by the windows being destroyed.	 XDestroyWin-
  dow() may also generate EnterNotify events if w was mapped and contained the pointer.

  No windows are destroyed if you try to destroy the root window.

Errors
  BadWindow

NAME

       XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows

SYNTAX

       int XDestroyWindow(Display *display, Window w);

       int XDestroySubwindows(Display *display, Window w);

ARGUMENTS

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w	 Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION

       The XDestroyWindow function destroys the specified window as well as all of its subwindows and causes the X server to generate a DestroyNo-
       tify event for each window.  The window should never be referenced again.  If the window specified by the w argument is mapped, it is
       unmapped automatically.	The ordering of the DestroyNotify events is such that for any given window being destroyed, DestroyNotify is gen-
       erated on any inferiors of the window before being generated on the window itself.  The ordering among siblings and across subhierarchies
       is not otherwise constrained.  If the window you specified is a root window, no windows are destroyed.  Destroying a mapped window will
       generate Expose events on other windows that were obscured by the window being destroyed.

       XDestroyWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The XDestroySubwindows function destroys all inferior windows of the specified window, in bottom-to-top stacking order.	It causes the X
       server to generate a DestroyNotify event for each window.  If any mapped subwindows were actually destroyed, XDestroySubwindows causes the
       X server to generate Expose events on the specified window.  This is much more efficient than deleting many windows one at a time because
       much of the work need be performed only once for all of the windows, rather than for each window.  The subwindows should never be refer-
       enced again.

       XDestroySubwindows can generate a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
