ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     event_mask
               Specifies the mask of events to redirect.

     datatype   XEVIE_MODIFIED or XEVIE_UNMODIFIED - whether  the

DESCRIPTION
     X Event Interception Extension (XEvIE) is designed for users
     who  need  to  intercept  all the Keyboard and Mouse events.
     Programs can determine which events should be  forwarded  to
     other clients and modify the events if necessary.

FUNCTIONS
     XevieQueryVersion The XevieQueryVersion function returns the
     major  and  minor  protocol version numbers supported by the
     server.  XevieQueryVersion returns True if  success,  other-
     wise, it returns False.

     XevieStart The  XevieStart  function  requests  that  the  X
     server  enable  the XEvIE extension.  Once XEvIE is success-
     fully enabled, all  the  XevieSelectInput  specified  events
     will  be sent to the client which has enabled XEvIE.  If XKB
     or AccessX is enabled, the events that are sent to the XEvIE

     clients are XKB/AccessX processed (filtered) ones.

     XevieSendEvent Events are sent back to the X server  through
     XevieSendEvent.

     XevieEnd The XevieEnd function requests that  the  X  server
     disables  the  XEvIE extension.  Once XEvIE is disabled suc-
     cessfully, the X server stops sending events  to  the  XEvIE
     client.

     XevieSelectInput The XevieSelectInput function requests that
     the X server reports the keyboard and pointer events associ-
     ated with the specified event  mask.   By  default,  X  will
     report  KeyPress, KeyRelease, ButtonPress, ButtonRelease and
     MotionNotify events.


RESTRICTIONS
     Xevie will remain upward compatible after  the  current  1.0
     release.
