XSetEventQueueOwner(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XSetEventQueueOwner(3)NAME
XSetEventQueueOwner - set event queue owner on a shared Xlib/XCB connection
SYNTAX
#include <X11/Xlib-xcb.h>
void XSetEventQueueOwner(Display *dpy, enum XEventQueueOwner owner);
ARGUMENTS
dpy Specifies the connection to the X server.
owner Specifies the event queue ownership:
XlibOwnsEventQueue (default)
Xlib owns the event queue. Use the Xlib event-handling functions. Do not call the XCB event-handling functions.
XCBOwnsEventQueue
XCB owns the event queue. Use the XCB event-handling functions. Do not call the Xlib event-handling functions.
DESCRIPTION
While a client using Xlib/XCB can issue requests and handle their replies or errors with either Xlib or XCB, only one can own and handle
the event queue. By default, Xlib must own the event queue, for compatibility with legacy Xlib clients. Clients can call XSetEventQueue-
Owner immediately after XOpenDisplay to let XCB own the event queue instead. Clients may not call XSetEventQueueOwner at any other time,
as this will potentially lose responses.

XIfEvent(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XIfEvent(3)NAME
XIfEvent, XCheckIfEvent, XPeekIfEvent - check the event queue with a predicate procedure
SYNTAX
int XIfEvent(Display *display, XEvent *event_return, Bool (*predicate)(), XPointer arg);
Bool XCheckIfEvent(Display *display, XEvent *event_return, Bool (*predicate)(), XPointer arg);
int XPeekIfEvent(Display *display, XEvent *event_return, Bool (*predicate)(), XPointer arg);
ARGUMENTS
arg Specifies the user-supplied argument that will be passed to the predicate procedure.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
event_return
Returns either a copy of or the matched event's associated structure.
predicate Specifies the procedure that is to be called to determine if the next event in the queue matches what you want.
DESCRIPTION
The XIfEvent function completes only when the specified predicate procedure returns True for an event, which indicates an event in the
queue matches. XIfEvent flushes the output buffer if it blocks waiting for additional events. XIfEvent removes the matching event from
the queue and copies the structure into the client-supplied XEvent structure.
When the predicate procedure finds a match, XCheckIfEvent copies the matched event into the client-supplied XEvent structure and returns
True. (This event is removed from the queue.) If the predicate procedure finds no match, XCheckIfEvent returns False, and the output buf-
fer will have been flushed. All earlier events stored in the queue are not discarded.
The XPeekIfEvent function returns only when the specified predicate procedure returns True for an event. After the predicate procedure
finds a match, XPeekIfEvent copies the matched event into the client-supplied XEvent structure without removing the event from the queue.
XPeekIfEvent flushes the output buffer if it blocks waiting for additional events.
Each of these functions requires you to pass a predicate procedure that determines if an event matches what you want. Your predicate pro-
cedure must decide if the event is useful without calling any Xlib functions. If the predicate directly or indirectly causes the state of
the event queue to change, the result is not defined. If Xlib has been initialized for threads, the predicate is called with the display
locked and the result of a call by the predicate to any Xlib function that locks the display is not defined unless the caller has first
called XLockDisplay.
The predicate procedure and its associated arguments are:
Bool (*predicate)(Display *display, XEvent *event, XPointer arg)
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
event Specifies the XEvent structure.
arg Specifies the argument passed in from the XIfEvent, XCheckIfEvent, or XPeekIfEvent function.
The predicate procedure is called once for each event in the queue until it finds a match. After finding a match, the predicate procedure
must return True. If it did not find a match, it must return False.
