NAME
       DMXAddInput,  DMXAddBackendInput,  DMXAddConsoleInput  -	 attach a new
       input

SYNOPSIS
       #include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>

       Bool DMXAddInput(Display *dpy,
			unsigned int mask,
			DMXInputAttributes *attr,
			int *id);
       Bool DMXAddBackendInput(Display *dpy,
			       int screen,
			       int sendsCore,
			       int *newId);
       Bool DMXAddConsoleInput(Display *dpy,
			       const char *name,
			       int sendsCore,
			       int *newId);

DESCRIPTION
       DMXAddInput() is used to attach a new input (or a previously  detached
       input)  to the Xdmx(1) server.  mask specifies the fields in attr that
       are active, and id returns the device if of the first  device  in  the
       series that is added.

       The value of mask is computed from the following values:

       DMXInputType
       DMXInputPhysicalScreen
       DMXInputSendsCore

       The DMXInputAttributes structure is:

       typedef struct {
	   DMXInputEnum inputType;
	   int		physicalScreen;
	   int		physicalId;
	   Bool		isCore;
	   Bool		sendsCore;
	   const char	*name;
	   Bool		detached;
       } DMXInputAttributes;

       inputType may bave the value DmxConsoleInputType	 or  DmxBackendInput-
       Type .

       For console devices, name will specify the display to be used.

       For back-end devices, physicalScreen will specify the  Xdmx(1)  screen
       number.

       If  sendsCore  is  True,	 the  new device will be added as a true core
       device.

       If a device was removed with DMXRemoveInput(3X)	an  attempt  will  be
       made  to	 reconnect the previous devices (sendsCore is ignored in this
       case).

       DMXAddBackendInput() is a helper function that is used  to  add	input
       from  a	back-end  server.   With  this function, screen refers to the
       back-end screen, sendsCore is True if the new input should  send	 core
       events (and it ignored if the input has been detached), and newId will
       hold the device id of the first device in the series added.

       DMXAddConsoleInput() is a helper function that is used  to  add	input
       from  a	console.  With this function, name is the name of the console
       display, sendsCore is True if the new input should  send	 core  events
       (and  it	 ignored if the input has been detached), and newId will hold
       the device id of the first device in the series added.

RETURN VALUE
       DMXAddInput() returns True on success and False otherwise.

       DMXAddInput() can generate BadValue (if inputType is invalid or physi-
       calScreen  is  out of range), BadAccess (if the input has already been
       attached or if the backend screen is currently detached).

NOTES
       Local devices cannot be attached or detached.

       Attributes that are not specified will default to 0.  This may lead to
       unintended results.
