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 re‐
25       sources 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  al‐
34       ready terminated in either RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary mode, all
35       of the client's resources are destroyed.  If AllTemporary is specified,
36       the  resources  of  all clients that have terminated in RetainTemporary
37       are destroyed (see section 2.5).  This permits implementation of window
38       manager facilities that aid debugging.  A client can set its close-down
39       mode to RetainTemporary.  If the client then crashes, its windows would
40       not  be  destroyed.   The programmer can then inspect the application's
41       window tree and use the window manager to destroy the zombie windows.
42
43       XKillClient can generate a BadValue error.
44

DIAGNOSTICS

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