NAME
     XIChangeHierarchy - change the device hierarchy.

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lXi [ library... ]

     #include 

     Status XIChangeHierarchy( Display *display,
                               XIAnyHierarchyChangeInfo *changes,
                               int num_changes);

     display
            Specifies the connection to the X server.

     num_changes
            Specifies the number of elements in changes.

     changes
            Specifies the changes to be made.

DESCRIPTION
         XIChangeHierarchy modifies the device hierarchy by creating or
         removing master devices or changing the attachment of slave
         devices. If num_changes is non-zero, changes is an array of
         XIAnyHierarchyChangeInfo structures.

         XIChangeHierarchy processes changes in order, effective
         immediately. If an error occurs, processing is aborted and the
         error is reported to the client. Changes already made remain
         effective.

         The list of changes is any combination of
         XIAnyHierarchyChangeInfo. The type of a hierarchy change can be
         XIAddMaster, XIRemoveMaster, XIAttachSlave or XIDetachSlave.

         typedef union {
             int type;
             XIAddMasterInfo add;
             XIRemoveMasterInfo remove;
             XIAttachSlave attach;
             XIDetachSlave detach;
         } XIAnyHierarchyChangeInfo;

         typedef struct {
             int type; /* XIAddMaster */
             char* name;
             Bool send_core;
             Bool enable;
         } XIAddMasterInfo;

         typedef struct {

             int type; /* XIRemoveMaster */
             int deviceid;
             int return_mode;
             int return_pointer;
             int return_keyboard;
         } XIRemoveMasterInfo;

         typedef struct {
             int type; /* XIAttachSlave */
             int deviceid;
             int new_master;
         } XIAttachSlaveInfo;

         typedef struct {
             int type; /* XIDetachSlave */
             int deviceid;
         } XIDetachSlaveInfo;

         XIAddMasterInfo creates a new master pointer and a new
         master keyboard labelled "name pointer" and "name keyboard"
         respectively. If sendCore is True, the devices will send core
         events. If enable is True, the device is enabled immediately.

         XIAddMasterInfo can generate a BadValue error.

         XIRemoveMasterInfo removes device and its paired master device.
         If returnMode is XIAttachToMaster, all pointers attached to
         device or its paired master device are attached to
         returnPointer. Likewise, all keyboards are attached to
         returnKeyboard. If returnMode is XIFloating, all attached
         devices are set to floating.

         XIRemoveMasterInfo can generate a BadValue and a BadDevice
         error.

         XIAttachSlaveInfo attaches device to newMaster. If the device
         is currently attached to a master device, it is detached from
         the master device and attached to the new master device.

         XIAttachSlaveInfo can generate a BadDevice error.

         XIDettachSlaveInfo deattaches device from the current master
         device and sets it floating. If the device is already floating,
         no changes are made.

         XIDetachSlaveInfo can generate a BadDevice error.

         XIChangeHierarchy generates an XIHierarchyEvent if any
         modifications were successful.

DIAGNOSTICS
         BadDevice

                An invalid device was specified. The device does not
                exist or is not a appropriate for the type of change.

         BadValue
                Some numeric value falls out of the allowed range.
