XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows
SYNTAX
XDestroyWindow(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;
XDestroySubwindows(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
w Specifies the window.
DESCRIPTION
The function destroys the specified window as well as all of its sub‐
windows and causes the X server to generate a event for each window.
The window should never be referenced again. If the window specified
by the w argument is mapped, it is unmapped automatically. The order‐
ing of the events is such that for any given window being destroyed, is
generated on any inferiors of the window before being generated on the
window itself. The ordering among siblings and across subhierarchies
is not otherwise constrained. If the window you specified is a root
window, no windows are destroyed. Destroying a mapped window will gen‐
erate events on other windows that were obscured by the window being
destroyed.
can generate a error.
The function destroys all inferior windows of the specified window, in
bottom-to-top stacking order. It causes the X server to generate a
event for each window. If any mapped subwindows were actually
destroyed, causes the X server to generate events on the specified win‐
dow. This is much more efficient than deleting many windows one at a
time because much of the work need be performed only once for all of
the windows, rather than for each window. The subwindows should never
be referenced again.
can generate a error.
DIAGNOSTICS
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
