XSetCloseDownMode(3)                           XLIB FUNCTIONS                           XSetCloseDownMode(3)



NAME
       XSetCloseDownMode, XKillClient - control clients

SYNTAX
       int XSetCloseDownMode(Display *display, int close_mode);

       int XKillClient(Display *display, XID resource);

ARGUMENTS
       close_mode
                 Specifies the client close-down mode.  You can pass DestroyAll, RetainPermanent, or Retain-Temporary. RetainTemporary.
                 Temporary.

       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 con-nection connection
       nection 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 RetainTem-porary RetainTemporary
       porary 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.

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.
