SYNTAX

10

13
14       w         Specifies the window for which the filter is to be applied.
15

DESCRIPTION

17       If  the window argument is None, XFilterEvent applies the filter to the
18       window specified in the XEvent structure.  The window argument is  pro‐
19       vided  so that layers above Xlib that do event redirection can indicate
20       to which window an event has been redirected.
21
22       If XFilterEvent returns True, then some input method has  filtered  the
23       event,  and  the  client  should  discard  the  event.  If XFilterEvent
24       returns False, then the client should continue processing the event.
25
26       If a grab has occurred in the client and XFilterEvent returns True, the
27       client should ungrab the keyboard.
