182 function identifies the destination window,
183 determines which clients should receive the specified events,
184 and ignores any active grabs.
185 This function requires you to pass an event mask.
186 For a discussion of the valid event mask names,
188 This function uses the w argument to identify the destination window as follows:
192 the destination window is the window that contains the pointer.
196 and if the focus window contains the pointer,
197 the destination window is the window that contains the pointer;
198 otherwise, the destination window is the focus window.
200 To determine which clients should receive the specified events,
202 uses the propagate argument as follows:
204 If event_mask is the empty set,
205 the event is sent to the client that created the destination window.
206 If that client no longer exists,
211 the event is sent to every client selecting on destination any of the event
212 types in the event_mask argument.
216 and no clients have selected on destination any of
217 the event types in event-mask, the destination is replaced with the
218 closest ancestor of destination for which some client has selected a
219 type in event-mask and for which no intervening window has that type in its
220 do-not-propagate-mask.
221 If no such window exists or if the window is
222 an ancestor of the focus window and
224 was originally specified
225 as the destination, the event is not sent to any clients.
226 Otherwise, the event is reported to every client selecting on the final
227 destination any of the types specified in event_mask.
231 structure must be one of the core events or one of the events
232 defined by an extension (or a
234 error results) so that the X server can correctly byte-swap
235 the contents as necessary.
236 The contents of the event are
237 otherwise unaltered and unchecked by the X server except to force send_event to
239 in the forwarded event and to set the serial number in the event correctly;
240 therefore these fields
241 and the display field are ignored by
245 returns zero if the conversion to wire protocol format failed
246 and returns nonzero otherwise.
254 The server may retain the recent history of the pointer motion
255 and do so to a finer granularity than is reported by
260 function makes this history available.
264 function returns all events in the motion history buffer that fall between the
265 specified start and stop times, inclusive, and that have coordinates
266 that lie within the specified window (including its borders) at its present
268 If the server does not support motion history,
269 if the start time is later than the stop time,
270 or if the start time is in the future,
271 no events are returned;
274 If the stop time is in the future, it is equivalent to specifying
294 The time member is set to the time, in milliseconds.
295 The x and y members are set to the coordinates of the pointer and
296 are reported relative to the origin
297 of the specified window.
301 Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
302 Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
303 by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
304 alternatives can generate this error.
307 A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
