Description
XNextEvent() removes an event from the head of the event queue and copies it into an XEvent structure supplied by the caller. If the event
queue is empty, XNextEvent() flushes the request buffer and waits (blocks) until an event is received. Use XCheckMaskEvent() or XCheck-
IfEvent() if you do not want to wait.
