XtAppAddWorkProc(3)

💖 XtAppAddWorkProc — XT FUNCTIONS ✨

okay so bestie, this page is literally about adding and removing background processing procedures in the X Toolkit Intrinsics, and ngl it's kinda the chillest thing ever. it's giving "set it and forget it" energy, but make it C. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

XtAppAddWorkProc, XtRemoveWorkProc — add and remove background processing procedures

---

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

XtWorkProcId XtAppAddWorkProc(XtAppContext app_context, XtWorkProc proc,
       XtPointer client_data);

void XtRemoveWorkProc(XtWorkProcId id);

like. look at those signatures. XtWorkProcId in, XtWorkProcId out, and a whole void situation when you're done. we love a consistent API. 👑

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• app_context — specifies the application context that identifies the application. it's the lil name tag that tells Xt which app we're talking about 🫶
• client_data — specifies the argument that is to be passed to the specified procedure when it is called. your lil care package, delivered straight to proc 💌
• proc — specifies the procedure that is to be called. the main character of this whole operation, fr fr ⭐
• id — specifies which work procedure to remove. you gotta know who you're removing before you remove them 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

The XtAppAddWorkProc function adds the specified work procedure for the application identified by app_context.

The XtRemoveWorkProc function explicitly removes the specified background work procedure.

not me just casually adding a background work proc and letting it vibe in the event loop 💀 that's the whole page. that's the tea. 🍓
