XSetCloseDownMode(3X11)		XLIB FUNCTIONS	      XSetCloseDownMode(3X11)



NAME
       XSetCloseDownMode, XKillClient - control clients

SYNTAX
       int XSetCloseDownMode(Display *display, int close_mode);

       int XKillClient(Display *display, XID resource);

ARGUMENTS
       close_mode
		 Specifies the client close-down mode.	You can pass Destroy-
		 All, RetainPermanent, or RetainTemporary.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       resource	 Specifies any resource associated with the client that you
		 want to destroy or AllTemporary.

DESCRIPTION
       The XSetCloseDownMode defines what will happen to the client’s
       resources at connection close.  A connection starts in DestroyAll
       mode.  For information on what happens to the client’s resources when
       the close_mode argument is RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary, see
       section 2.6.

       XSetCloseDownMode can generate a BadValue error.

       The XKillClient function forces a close down of the client that cre-
       ated the resource if a valid resource is specified.  If the client has
       already terminated in either RetainPermanent or RetainTemporary mode,
       all of the client’s resources are destroyed.  If AllTemporary is spec-
       ified, the resources of all clients that have terminated in RetainTem-
       porary are destroyed (see section 2.5).	This permits implementation
       of window manager facilities that aid debugging.	 A client can set its
       close-down mode to RetainTemporary.  If the client then crashes, its
       windows would not be destroyed.	The programmer can then inspect the
       application’s window tree and use the window manager to destroy the
       zombie windows.

       XKillClient can generate a BadValue error.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadValue	 Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
		 accepted by the request.  Unless a specific range is speci-
		 fied for an argument, the full range defined by the argu-
		 ment’s type is accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of
		 alternatives can generate this error.
