XLIB FUNCTIONS                                 XWarpPointer(3x11)



NAME
     XWarpPointer - move pointer

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

     int XWarpPointer(Display *display, Window src_w, Window
          dest_w, int src_x, int src_y, unsigned int src_width,
          unsigned int src_height, int dest_x, int dest_y);

ARGUMENTS
     dest_w    Specifies the destination window or None.

     dest_x
     dest_y    Specify the x and y coordinates within the desti-
               nation window.

     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     src_x
     src_y
     src_width
     src_height
               Specify a rectangle in the source window.

     src_w     Specifies the source window or None.

DESCRIPTION
     If dest_w is None, XWarpPointer moves the pointer by the
     offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative to the current position of
     the pointer.  If dest_w is a window, XWarpPointer moves the
     pointer to the offsets (dest_x, dest_y) relative to the ori-
     gin of dest_w.  However, if src_w is a window, the move only
     takes place if the window src_w contains the pointer and if
     the specified rectangle of src_w contains the pointer.

     The src_x and src_y coordinates are relative to the origin
     of src_w.  If src_height is zero, it is replaced with the
     current height of src_w minus src_y.  If src_width is zero,
     it is replaced with the current width of src_w minus src_x.

     There is seldom any reason for calling this function. The
     pointer should normally be left to the user.  If you do use
     this function, however, it generates events just as if the
     user had instantaneously moved the pointer from one position
     to another.  Note that you cannot use XWarpPointer to move
     the pointer outside the confine_to window of an active
     pointer grab.  An attempt to do so will only move the
     pointer as far as the closest edge of the confine_to window.

     XWarpPointer can generate a BadWindow error.
