XSetCloseDownMode(3X) XSetCloseDownMode(3X)
NAME
XSetCloseDownMode, XKillClient - control clients
SYNOPSIS
XSetCloseDownMode(display, close_mode)
Display *display;
int close_mode;
XKillClient(display, resource)
Display *display;
XID resource;
ARGUMENTS
close_mode
Specifies the client close-down mode. You
can pass DestroyAll, RetainPermanent, or
RetainTemporary.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
resource Specifies any resource associated with the
client that you want to destroy or
AllTemporary.
DESCRIPTION
The XSetCloseDownMode defines what will happen to the
client's resources at connection close. A connection
starts in DestroyAll mode. For information on what
happens to the client's resources when the close_mode
argument is RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary, see
section 2.6.
XSetCloseDownMode can generate a BadValue error.
The XKillClient function forces a close-down of the
client that created the resource if a valid resource is
specified. If the client has already terminated in
either RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary mode, all of
the client's resources are destroyed. If AllTemporary
is specified, the resources of all clients that have
terminated in RetainTemporary are destroyed (see
section 2.6). This permits implementation of window
manager facilities that aid debugging. A client can
set its close-down mode to RetainTemporary. If the
client then crashes, its windows would not be
destroyed. The programmer can then inspect the
application's window tree and use the window manager to
destroy the zombie windows.
XKillClient can generate a BadValue error.
