NAME
XIfEvent, XCheckIfEvent, XPeekIfEvent − check the event queue with a predicate procedure
SYNTAX
|
int XIfEvent(Display *display, XEvent *event_return, Bool (*predicate)(), XPointer arg); | |
|
Bool XCheckIfEvent(Display *display, XEvent *event_return, Bool (*predicate)(), XPointer arg); | |
|
int XPeekIfEvent(Display *display, XEvent *event_return, Bool (*predicate)(), XPointer arg); |
ARGUMENTS
|
arg |
Specifies the user-supplied argument that will be passed to the predicate procedure. | ||
|
display |
Specifies the connection to the X server. |
event_return
Returns either a copy of or the matched event’s associated structure.
|
predicate |
Specifies the procedure that is to be called to determine if the next event in the queue matches what you want. |
DESCRIPTION
The XIfEvent function completes only when the specified predicate procedure returns True for an event, which indicates an event in the queue matches. XIfEvent flushes the output buffer if it blocks waiting for additional events. XIfEvent removes the matching event from the queue and copies the structure into the client-supplied XEvent structure.
When the predicate procedure finds a match, XCheckIfEvent copies the matched event into the client-supplied XEvent structure and returns True. (This event is removed from the queue.) If the predicate procedure finds no match, XCheckIfEvent returns False, and the output buffer will have been flushed. All earlier events stored in the queue are not discarded.
The XPeekIfEvent function returns only when the specified predicate procedure returns True for an event. After the predicate procedure finds a match, XPeekIfEvent copies the matched event into the client-supplied XEvent structure without removing the event from the queue. XPeekIfEvent flushes the output buffer if it blocks waiting for additional events.
Each of these functions requires you to pass a predicate procedure that determines if an event matches what you want. Your predicate procedure must decide if the event is useful without calling any Xlib functions. If the predicate directly or indirectly causes the state of the event queue to change, the result is not defined. If Xlib has been initialized for threads, the predicate is called with the display locked and the result of a call by the predicate to any Xlib function that locks the display is not defined unless the caller has first called XLockDisplay.
The predicate procedure and its associated arguments are:
|
Bool (*predicate)(Display *display, XEvent *event, XPointer arg) | |
|
display |
Specifies the connection to the X server.
|
event |
Specifies the XEvent structure. | ||
|
arg |
Specifies the argument passed in from the XIfEvent, XCheckIfEvent, or XPeekIfEvent function. |
The predicate procedure is called once for each event in the queue until it finds a match. After finding a match, the predicate procedure must return True. If it did not find a match, it must return False.
