XtProcessEvent()														  XtProcessEvent()

Name
  XtProcessEvent - get and process one input event of a specified type.

Synopsis
  void XtProcessEvent(mask)
	 XtInputMask mask;

Inputs
  mask	    Specifies what types of events to process.

Availability
  XtProcessEvent() has been superseded by XtAppProcessEvent().

Description
  XtProcessEvent() processes one X event, alternate input source event or timer event.	The mask argument specifies which types of events are
  to be processed; it is the bitwise inclusive OR ( ) of any of the values XtIMXEvent, XtIMTimer, or XtIMAlternateInput, or the value XtIMAll
  which  specifies all three event types.  XtProcessEvent() calls any registered background work procedures if there are no events available,
  and blocks if there are no events and no work procedures.

Usage
  XtProcessEvent() has been superseded by XtAppProcessEvent(), which performs the same function on a per-application context  basis.   XtPro-
  cessEvent()								 now								calls
  XtAppProcessEvent()	       passing		 the	       default		 application	       context		 created	   by
  XtInitialize().	 Very	    few       programs	     need	multiple       application	 contexts,	and	 you	  can
  continue	  to	    use        XtProcessEvent()        if	 you	     initialize 	your	     application	 with
  XtInitialize().   We	recommend,  however,  that you use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppProcessEvent(), and the other XtApp*() application context
  specific functions.

  See XtAppProcessEvent() for more information.

  Programs rarely need this much control over the event dispatching mechanism.	Most programs use XtAppMainLoop().
