- _a_p_p___c_o_n_t_e_x_t
- Specifies the application context that identi-
- fies the application .
-
- _e_v_e_n_t Specifies a pointer to the event structure that
- is to be dispatched to the appropriate event
- handler.
-
- _e_v_e_n_t___r_e_t_u_r_n
- Returns the event information to the specified
- event structure.
-
- _m_a_s_k Specifies what types of events to process. The
- mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of any combina-
- tion of _X_t_I_M_X_E_v_e_n_t, _X_t_I_M_T_i_m_e_r,
- _X_t_I_M_A_l_t_e_r_n_a_t_e_I_n_p_u_t, and _X_t_I_M_S_i_g_n_a_l. As a conve-
- nience, the X Toolkit defines the symbolic name
- _X_t_I_M_A_l_l to be the bitwise inclusive OR of all
- event types.

- If the X event queue is empty, _X_t_A_p_p_N_e_x_t_E_v_e_n_t flushes the
- X output buffers of each Display in the application con-
- text and waits for an event while looking at the other
- input sources, timeout timeout values, and signal handlers
- and calling any callback procedures triggered by them.

-
- This wait time can be used for background processing (see
- Section 7.8).
-
- If there is an event in the queue, _X_t_A_p_p_P_e_e_k_E_v_e_n_t fills in
- the event and returns a nonzero value. If no X input is on
- the queue, _X_t_A_p_p_P_e_e_k_E_v_e_n_t flushes the output buffer and
- blocks until input is available (possibly calling some
- timeout callbacks in the process). If the input is an
- event, _X_t_A_p_p_P_e_e_k_E_v_e_n_t fills in the event and returns a
- nonzero value. Otherwise, the input is for an alternate
- input source, and _X_t_A_p_p_P_e_e_k_E_v_e_n_t returns zero.
-
- The _X_t_A_p_p_P_e_n_d_i_n_g function returns a nonzero value if there
- are events pending from the X server, timer pending, or
- other input sources pending. The value returned is a bit
- mask that is the OR of _X_t_I_M_X_E_v_e_n_t, _X_t_I_M_T_i_m_e_r,
- _X_t_I_M_A_l_t_e_r_n_a_t_e_I_n_p_u_t, and _X_t_I_M_S_i_g_n_a_l (see
- _X_t_A_p_p_P_r_o_c_e_s_s_E_v_e_n_t). If there are no events pending,
- _X_t_A_p_p_P_e_n_d_i_n_g flushes the output buffer and returns zero.
-
- The _X_t_A_p_p_P_r_o_c_e_s_s_E_v_e_n_t function processes one timer, alter-
- nate input, signal source, or X event. If there is noth-
- ing of the appropriate type to process, _X_t_A_p_p_P_r_o_c_e_s_s_E_v_e_n_t
- blocks until there is. If there is more than one type of
- thing available to process, it is undefined which will get
- processed. Usually, this procedure is not called by
- client applications (see _X_t_A_p_p_M_a_i_n_L_o_o_p). _X_t_A_p_p_P_r_o_c_e_s_s_-
- _E_v_e_n_t processes timer events by calling any appropriate
- timer callbacks, alternate input by calling any appropri-
- ate alternate input callbacks, signal source by calling
- any appropriate signal callbacks, and X events by calling
- _X_t_D_i_s_p_a_t_c_h_E_v_e_n_t.
-
- When an X event is received, it is passed to
- _X_t_D_i_s_p_a_t_c_h_E_v_e_n_t, which calls the appropriate event han-
- dlers and passes them the widget, the event, and client-
- specific data registered with each procedure. If there
- are no handlers for that event registered, the event is
- ignored and the dispatcher simply returns. The order in
- which the handlers are called is undefined.
-
- The _X_t_D_i_s_p_a_t_c_h_E_v_e_n_t function sends those events to the
- event handler functions that have been previously regis-
- tered with the dispatch routine. _X_t_D_i_s_p_a_t_c_h_E_v_e_n_t returns
- _T_r_u_e if it dispatched the event to some handler and _F_a_l_s_e
- if it found no handler to dispatch the event to. The most
- common use of _X_t_D_i_s_p_a_t_c_h_E_v_e_n_t is to dispatch events
- acquired with the _X_t_A_p_p_N_e_x_t_E_v_e_n_t procedure. However, it
- also can be used to dispatch user-constructed events. _X_t_-
- _D_i_s_p_a_t_c_h_E_v_e_n_t also is responsible for implementing the
- grab semantics for _X_t_A_d_d_G_r_a_b.
-
- The _X_t_A_p_p_M_a_i_n_L_o_o_p function first reads the next incoming X
- event by calling _X_t_A_p_p_N_e_x_t_E_v_e_n_t and then it dispatches the

-
- event to the appropriate registered procedure by calling
- _X_t_D_i_s_p_a_t_c_h_E_v_e_n_t. This constitutes the main loop of X
- Toolkit applications, and, as such, it does not return.
- Applications are expected to exit in response to some user
- action. There is nothing special about _X_t_A_p_p_M_a_i_n_L_o_o_p; it
- is simply an infinite loop that calls _X_t_A_p_p_N_e_x_t_E_v_e_n_t and
- then _X_t_D_i_s_p_a_t_c_h_E_v_e_n_t.
-
- Applications can provide their own version of this loop,
- which tests some global termination flag or tests that the
- number of top-level widgets is larger than zero before
- circling back to the call to _X_t_A_p_p_N_e_x_t_E_v_e_n_t.
