12
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
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
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.
