XLIB FUNCTIONS                                 XFilterEvent(3x11)



NAME
     XFilterEvent - filter X events for an input method

SYNTAX
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     Bool XFilterEvent(XEvent *event, Window w);

ARGUMENTS
     event     Specifies the event to filter.

     w         Specifies the window for which the filter is to be
               applied.

DESCRIPTION
     If the window argument is None, XFilterEvent applies the
     filter to the window specified in the XEvent structure.  The
     window argument is provided so that layers above Xlib that
     do event redirection can indicate to which window an event
     has been redirected.

     If XFilterEvent returns True, then some input method has
     filtered the event, and the client should discard the event.
     If XFilterEvent returns False, then the client should con-
     tinue processing the event.

     If a grab has occurred in the client and XFilterEvent
     returns True, the client should ungrab the keyboard.
