XFilterEvent(3X11)
X11R6
NAME
  XFilterEvent - filter X events for an input method

SYNOPSIS
  Bool XFilterEvent(event, w)
	  XEvent *event;
	  Window w;

ARGUMENTS
  event
      Specifies the event to filter.

  w   Specifies the window for which the filter is to be applied.

DESCRIPTION
  If the window argument is None, XFilterEvent applies the filter to the
  window specified in the XEvent structure. The window argument is provided
  so that layers above Xlib that do event redirection can indicate to which
  window an event has been redirected.

  If XFilterEvent returns True, then some input method has filtered the
  event, and the client should discard the event. If XFilterEvent returns
  False, then the client should continue processing the event.

  If a grab has occurred in the client and XFilterEvent returns True, the
  client should ungrab the keyboard.
