XtAppLock(3)

πŸ’… XtAppLock β€” the XT FUNCTIONS girlies

okay bestie, so this one is from the XT FUNCTIONS manual, and it's literally just two little functions: XtAppLock and XtAppUnlock. they lock and unlock an application context. that's it. that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

XtAppLock, XtAppUnlock β€” lock and unlock application context 🫢


✨ SYNTAX ✨

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

void XtAppLock(XtAppContext app_context);

void XtAppUnlock(XtAppContext app_context);

like, yes, you gotta include <X11/Intrinsic.h> first, no skipping that step babe πŸ’–


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • app_context β€” Specifies the application context. that's your whole situation right there, the context of the app, iconic πŸ‘‘

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so XtAppLock locks the application context. and not just the context itself β€” it locks including all its related displays and widgets. the whole friend group. locked. πŸ”’βœ¨

and then XtAppUnlock unlocks the application context. simple as that, she's free, she's unbothered, the lock is gone πŸ¦‹

no cap, that's genuinely the entire description. these two are the shortest little besties in the XT FUNCTIONS set and we love them for it πŸ’œ
