     buttons_return
            Returns the current button state.

     child_return
            Returns the child window that the pointer is located in,
            if any.

     deviceid
            Specifies the device to query.

     display
            Specifies the connection to the X server.

     group_return
            Returns the current group state.

     modifiers_return
            Returns the current state of the modifier keys.

     root_return
            Returns the root window that the pointer is in.

     root_x_return, root_y_return
            Return the pointer coordinates relative to the root
            window's origin.

     win
            Specifies the window.

     win_x_return, win_y_return
            Return the pointer coordinates relative to the specified

            window.

DESCRIPTION
         The XIQueryPointer function returns the root window the
         device's pointer is logically on and the pointer coordinates
         relative to the root window's origin. If XIQueryPointer returns
         False, the pointer is not on the same screen as the specified
         window, and XIQueryPointer returns None to child_return and
         zero to win_x_return and win_y_return. If XIQueryPointer
         returns True, the pointer coordinates returned to win_x_return
         and win_y_return are relative to the origin of the specified
         window. In this case, XIQueryPointer returns the child that
         contains the pointer, if any, or else None to child_return.

         XIQueryPointer returns the current logical state of the buttons
         buttons_return. The keyboard paired with the master pointer is
         selected to obtain the data for modifiers_return and
         group_return.

         XIQueryPointer is identical to XQueryPointer but specifies the
         device explicitly.

         XIQueryPointer can generate a BadDevice and a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS
         BadDevice
                An invalid device was specified. The device does not
                exist or is not a pointer device.

         BadWindow
                A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
                window.
