XWarpPointer(3X11)
NAME
  XWarpPointer - move pointer

SYNOPSIS
  XWarpPointer(display, src_w, dest_w, src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height,
  dest_x, dest_y)
	  Display *display;
	  Window src_w, dest_w;
	  int src_x, src_y;
	  unsigned int src_width, src_height;
	  int dest_x, dest_y;

ARGUMENTS
  dest_w
      Specifies the destination window or None.

  dest_x

  dest_y
      Specify the x and y coordinates within the destination window.

  display
      Specifies the connection to the X server.

  src_x

  src_y

  src_width

  src_height
      Specify a rectangle in the source window.

  src_w
      Specifies the source window or None.

DESCRIPTION
  If dest_w is None, XWarpPointer moves the pointer by the offsets (dest_x,
  dest_y) relative to the current position of the pointer. If dest_w is a
  window, XWarpPointer moves the pointer to the offsets (dest_x, dest_y)
  relative to the origin of dest_w. However, if src_w is a window, the move
  only takes place if the window src_w contains the pointer and if the
  specified rectangle of src_w contains the pointer.

  The src_x and src_y coordinates are relative to the origin of src_w.	If
  src_height is zero, it is replaced with the current height of src_w minus
  src_y. If src_width is zero, it is replaced with the current width of src_w
  minus src_x.

  There is seldom any reason for calling this function. The pointer should
  normally be left to the user. If you do use this function, however, it
  generates events just as if the user had instantaneously moved the pointer
  from one position to another. Note that you cannot use XWarpPointer to move
  the pointer outside the confine_to window of an active pointer grab.	An
  attempt to do so will only move the pointer as far as the closest edge of
  the confine_to window.

  XWarpPointer can generate a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS
  BadWindow
	  A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
