XSetCloseDownMode(3X11)


X11R6


NAME

  XSetCloseDownMode, XKillClient - control clients


SYNOPSIS

  XSetCloseDownMode(display, close_mode)
	  Display *display;
	  int close_mode;

  XKillClient(display, resource)
	  Display *display;
	  XID resource;


ARGUMENTS

  close_mode
      Specifies the client close-down mode. You can pass DestroyAll,
      RetainPermanent, or RetainTemporary.

  display
      Specifies the connection to the X server.

  resource
      Specifies any resource associated with the client that you want to
      destroy or AllTemporary.


DESCRIPTION

  The XSetCloseDownMode defines what will happen to the client's resources at
  connection close. A connection starts in DestroyAll mode. For information
  on what happens to the client's resources when the close_mode argument is
  RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary, see section 2.6.

  XSetCloseDownMode can generate a BadValue error.

  The XKillClient function forces a close down of the client that created the
  resource if a valid resource is specified. If the client has already
  terminated in either RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary mode, all of the
  client's resources are destroyed. If AllTemporary is specified, the
  resources of all clients that have terminated in RetainTemporary are
  destroyed (see section 2.5). This permits implementation of window manager
  facilities that aid debugging. A client can set its close-down mode to
  RetainTemporary. If the client then crashes, its windows would not be
  destroyed. The programmer can then inspect the application's window tree
  and use the window manager to destroy the zombie windows.

  XKillClient can generate a BadValue error.


DIAGNOSTICS

  BadValue
	  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by
	  the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an argument,
	  the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted.  Any
	  argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error.
