X Version 11 (Release 6.1)
XSetCloseDownMode(X3xlib)
XSetCloseDownMode --
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 of
Xlib - C Language X Interface.
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 2.5 of Xlib - C Language X Interface).
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.
Diagnostics
``BadValue''-
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
alternatives can generate this error.
