DESCRIPTION

19       The  XDestroyWindow  function  destroys the specified window as well as
20       all of its subwindows and causes the X server to generate a  DestroyNo‐
21       tify  event  for  each  window.   The window should never be referenced
22       again.  If the window specified by the w argument is mapped, it is  un‐
23       mapped automatically.  The ordering of the DestroyNotify events is such
24       that for any given window being destroyed, DestroyNotify  is  generated
25       on any inferiors of the window before being generated on the window it‐
26       self.  The ordering among siblings and  across  subhierarchies  is  not
27       otherwise  constrained.   If the window you specified is a root window,
28       no windows are destroyed.  Destroying a mapped window will generate Ex‐
29       pose events on other windows that were obscured by the window being de‐
30       stroyed.
31
32       XDestroyWindow can generate a BadWindow error.
33
34       The XDestroySubwindows function destroys all inferior  windows  of  the
35       specified  window,  in  bottom-to-top  stacking order.  It causes the X
36       server to generate a DestroyNotify  event  for  each  window.   If  any
37       mapped  subwindows  were  actually destroyed, XDestroySubwindows causes
38       the X server to generate Expose events on the specified  window.   This
39       is much more efficient than deleting many windows one at a time because
40       much of the work need be performed only once for all  of  the  windows,
41       rather than for each window.  The subwindows should never be referenced
42       again.
43
44       XDestroySubwindows can generate a BadWindow error.
