XFilterEvent(3X11)          X Version 11(Release 5)          XFilterEvent(3X11)


NAME
      XFilterEvent - filter X events for an input method

SYNTAX
      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.
