XAddConnectionWatch(3X) XLIB FUNCTIONS XAddConnectionWatch(3X)
NAME
XAddConnectionWatch - handle Xlib internal connections
SYNTAX
Status XAddConnectionWatch(display, procedure, client_data)
Display *display;
XConnectionWatchProc procedure;
XPointer client_data;
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
procedure Specifies the procedure to be called.
client_data
Specifies the additional client data.
DESCRIPTION
The XAddConnectionWatch function registers a procedure to be called each time Xlib opens or closes an internal connection for the specified
display. The procedure is passed the display, the specified client_data, the file descriptor for the connection, a Boolean indicating
whether the connection is being opened or closed, and a pointer to a location for private watch data. If opening is True, the procedure
can store a pointer to private data in the location pointed to by watch_data; when the procedure is later called for this same connection
and opening is False, the location pointed to by watch_data will hold this same private data pointer.
This function can be called at any time after a display is opened. If internal connections already exist, the registered procedure will
immediately be called for each of them, before XAddConnectionWatch returns. XAddConnectionWatch returns a nonzero status if the procedure
is successfully registered; otherwise, it returns zero.
The registered procedure should not call any Xlib functions. If the procedure directly or indirectly causes the state of internal connec-
tions or watch procedures to change, the result is not defined. If Xlib has been initialized for threads, the procedure is called with the
display locked and the result of a call by the procedure to any Xlib function that locks the display is not defined unless the executing
thread has externally locked the display using XLockDisplay.
