XSetEventQueueOwner(3)                         XLIB FUNCTIONS                         XSetEventQueueOwner(3)



NAME
       XSetEventQueueOwner - set event queue owner on a shared Xlib/XCB connection

SYNTAX
        #include <X11/Xlib-xcb.h>

       void XSetEventQueueOwner(Display *dpy, enum XEventQueueOwner owner);

ARGUMENTS
       dpy       Specifies the connection to the X server.

       owner     Specifies the event queue ownership:

                 XlibOwnsEventQueue (default)
                        Xlib  owns the event queue.  Use the Xlib event-handling functions.  Do not call the
                        XCB event-handling functions.

                 XCBOwnsEventQueue
                        XCB owns the event queue.  Use the XCB event-handling functions.  Do  not  call  the
                        Xlib event-handling functions.

DESCRIPTION
       While  a client using Xlib/XCB can issue requests and handle their replies or errors with either Xlib
       or XCB, only one can own and handle the event queue.  By default, Xlib must own the event queue,  for
       compatibility  with  legacy  Xlib  clients.   Clients  can call XSetEventQueueOwner immediately after
       XOpenDisplay to let XCB own the event queue instead.  Clients may not call XSetEventQueueOwner at any
       other time, as this will potentially lose responses.
