ARGUMENTS

14       close_mode
15                 Specifies  the client close-down mode.  You can pass Destroy‐
16                 All, RetainPermanent, or RetainTemporary.
17
18       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.
19
20       resource  Specifies any resource associated with the  client  that  you
21                 want to destroy or AllTemporary.
22

DESCRIPTION

24       The   XSetCloseDownMode  defines  what  will  happen  to  the  client's
25       resources at connection close.  A connection starts in DestroyAll mode.
26       For  information  on  what  happens  to the client's resources when the
27       close_mode argument is RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary, see  section
28       2.6.
29
30       XSetCloseDownMode can generate a BadValue error.
31
32       The XKillClient function forces a close down of the client that created
33       the resource if a valid resource  is  specified.   If  the  client  has
34       already  terminated  in either RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary mode,
35       all of the client's resources are destroyed.  If AllTemporary is speci‐
36       fied, the resources of all clients that have terminated in RetainTempo‐
37       rary are destroyed (see section 2.5).  This permits  implementation  of
38       window  manager  facilities  that  aid debugging.  A client can set its
39       close-down mode to RetainTemporary.  If the client  then  crashes,  its
40       windows  would  not  be destroyed.  The programmer can then inspect the
41       application's window tree and use the window  manager  to  destroy  the
42       zombie windows.
43
44       XKillClient can generate a BadValue error.
45

DIAGNOSTICS

47       BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
48                 by the request.  Unless a specific range is specified for  an
49                 argument,  the  full  range defined by the argument's type is
50                 accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of alternatives  can
51                 generate this error.
