XDestroyWindow(3)		 XLIB FUNCTIONS 	       XDestroyWindow(3)

NAME
     XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows

SYNTAX
     int XDestroyWindow(Display *display, Window w);

     int XDestroySubwindows(Display *display, Window w);

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     w	       Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION
     The XDestroyWindow function destroys the specified window as well as all of
     its  subwindows  and  causes the X server to generate a DestroyNotify event
     for each window.  The window should never be referenced again.  If the win-
     dow specified by the w argument is mapped, it  is	unmapped  automatically.
     The  ordering of the DestroyNotify events is such that for any given window
     being destroyed, DestroyNotify is generated on any inferiors of the  window
     before  being  generated on the window itself.  The ordering among siblings
     and across subhierarchies is not otherwise constrained.  If the window  you
     specified	is a root window, no windows are destroyed.  Destroying a mapped
     window will generate Expose events on other windows that were  obscured  by
     the window being destroyed.

     XDestroyWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

     The XDestroySubwindows function destroys all inferior windows of the speci-
     fied  window,  in	bottom-to-top stacking order.  It causes the X server to
     generate a DestroyNotify event for each window.  If any  mapped  subwindows
     were actually destroyed, XDestroySubwindows causes the X server to generate
     Expose  events  on  the specified window.	This is much more efficient than
     deleting many windows one at a time because much of the work need	be  per-
     formed  only once for all of the windows, rather than for each window.  The
     subwindows should never be referenced again.

     XDestroySubwindows can generate a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadWindow
	       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
