- 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.
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 2.5). 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.
- 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.
