XWarpPointer(3X11)                   SysV                   XWarpPointer(3X11)



NAME
     XWarpPointer - move pointer

SYNTAX
     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 specified rectangle 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.
