XSelectInput(3X11)		     X11R5		    XSelectInput(3X11)

NAME
       XSelectInput - select input events

SYNTAX
       XSelectInput(display, w, event_mask)
	     Display *display;
	     Window w;
	     long event_mask;

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       event_mask
		 Specifies the event mask.

       w	 Specifies the window whose events you are interested in.

DESCRIPTION
       The function requests that the X server report the events associated
       with the specified event mask.  Initially, X will not report any of
       these events.  Events are reported relative to a window.	 If a window
       is not interested in a device event, it usually propagates to the clos‐
       est ancestor that is interested, unless the do_not_propagate mask pro‐
       hibits it.

       Setting the event-mask attribute of a window overrides any previous
       call for the same window but not for other clients.  Multiple clients
       can select for the same events on the same window with the following
       restrictions:

       ·    Multiple clients can select events on the same window because
	    their event masks are disjoint.  When the X server generates an
	    event, it reports it to all interested clients.

       ·    Only one client at a time can select or events, which are associ‐
	    ated with the event mask

       ·    Only one client at a time can select a event, which is associated
	    with the event mask

       ·    Only one client at a time can select a event, which is associated
	    with the event mask

       The server reports the event to all interested clients.

       can generate a error.

DIAGNOSTICS
       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
