💖 XpSelectInput 💖

okay bestie, this is XpSelectInput from the 3Xp manual, chilling under XPRINT FUNCTIONS. It's the function that tells X which X Print events from a print context you actually care about. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

XpSelectInput — Specifies which X Print events, from the specified print context, the client is interested in. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void XpSelectInput ( display, context, event_mask )
      Display *display;
      XPContext context;
      unsigned long event_mask;

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • display — Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay. That's your display hookup, bestie. 💖
  • context — Specifies the print context from which to select events.
  • event_mask — Specifies the event mask. This mask is the bitwise OR one or more of the valid events mask bits (see below). No cap. ✨

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

XpSelectInput selects which X Print events from the specified print context the client is interested in. The X Print Events are generated from a current print context, and not from a window as is the case with XSelectInput. That distinction is giving main character energy. 👑

🔥 STRUCTURES 🔥

The bits for event_mask are defined in <X11/extensions/Print.h>:

#define XPNoEventMask         0
#define XPPrintMask           (1L<<0)
#define XPAttributeMask       (1L<<1)

The resulting events are defined in <X11/extensions/Print.h>:

#define XPPrintNotify         0
#define XPAttributeNotify          1

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

  • BadValue — The value specified for event_mask is not valid.
  • XPBadContext — The specified print context is not valid.
okay so those are the diagnostics, bestie — no mystery bonus errors hiding in here. 🫶
