XdbeAllocateBackBufferName(3)                    X FUNCTIONS                   XdbeAllocateBackBufferName(3)



NAME
       XdbeAllocateBackBufferName - allocates a DBE buffer.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <X11/extensions/Xdbe.h>

       XdbeBackBuffer XdbeAllocateBackBufferName(
           Display        *dpy,
           Window         window,
           XdbeSwapAction swap_action)

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  returns  a drawable ID used to refer to the back buffer of the specified window.  The
       swap_action is a hint to indicate the swap action that will likely be used  in  subsequent  calls  to
       XdbeSwapBuffers().  The actual swap action used in calls to XdbeSwapBuffers() does not have to be the
       same as the swap_action passed to this function, though clients are encouraged  to  provide  accurate
       information whenever possible.

ERRORS
       BadAlloc

       BadIDChoice

       BadMatch
              The specified window is not an InputOutput window or its visual does not support DBE.

       BadValue
              An invalid swap action was specified.

       BadWindow
              An invalid window was specified.
