XSaveContext(3X11) MIT X11R4 XSaveContext(3X11)Name
XSaveContext, XFindContext, XDeleteContext, XUniqueContext - associative look-up routines
Syntax
int XSaveContext(display, w, context, data)
Display *display;
Window w;
XContext context;
caddr_t data;
int XFindContext(display, w, context, data_return)
Display *display;
Window w;
XContext context;
caddr_t *data_return;
int XDeleteContext(display, w, context)
Display *display;
Window w;
XContext context;
XContext XUniqueContext()
Arguments
context Specifies the context type to which the data belongs.
data Specifies the data to be associated with the window and type.
data_return
Returns a pointer to the data.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
w Specifies the window with which the data is associated.
Description
If an entry with the specified window and type already exists, overrides it with the specified context. The function returns a nonzero
error code if an error has occurred and zero otherwise. Possible errors are (out of memory).
Because it is a return value, the data is a pointer. The function returns a nonzero error code if an error has occurred and zero other-
wise. Possible errors are (context-not-found).
The function deletes the entry for the given window and type from the data structure. This function returns the same error codes that
returns if called with the same arguments. does not free the data whose address was saved.
The function creates a unique context type that may be used in subsequent calls to

XSaveContext(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XSaveContext(3X11)NAME
XSaveContext, XFindContext, XDeleteContext, XUniqueContext - associative look-up routines
SYNTAX
int XSaveContext(display, rid, context, data)
Display *display;
XID rid;
XContext context;
XPointer data;
int XFindContext(display, rid, context, data_return)
Display *display;
XID rid;
XContext context;
XPointer *data_return;
int XDeleteContext(display, rid, context)
Display *display;
XID rid;
XContext context;
XContext XUniqueContext()
ARGUMENTS
context Specifies the context type to which the data belongs.
data Specifies the data to be associated with the window and type.
data_return
Returns the data.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
rid Specifies the resource ID with which the data is associated.
DESCRIPTION
If an entry with the specified resource ID and type already exists, XSaveContext overrides it with the specified context. The XSaveContext
function returns a nonzero error code if an error has occurred and zero otherwise. Possible errors are XCNOMEM (out of memory).
Because it is a return value, the data is a pointer. The XFindContext function returns a nonzero error code if an error has occurred and
zero otherwise. Possible errors are XCNOENT (context-not-found).
The XDeleteContext function deletes the entry for the given resource ID and type from the data structure. This function returns the same
error codes that XFindContext returns if called with the same arguments. XDeleteContext does not free the data whose address was saved.
The XUniqueContext function creates a unique context type that may be used in subsequent calls to XSaveContext.

I'm writing a command shell, and I want to be able to detect when the user presses an arrow key (otherwise it just prints [[A, [[B, etc.). I know it's relatively easy (although somewhat more time-consuming) to detect keystrokes in noncanonical mode, but I've noticed that the bash shell detects... (4 Replies)

In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?

I noticed my hostname is <my-full-name>s-macbook.local.
