NAME
     XIBarrierReleasePointer,  XIBarrierReleasePointers - allow pointer movement
     across a pointer barrier

SYNOPSIS
     #include <X11/extensions/XInput2.h>

     int XIBarrierReleasePointer( Display *display,
				  int deviceid,
				  PointerBarrier barrier,
				  BarrierEventID eventid);

     int XIBarrierReleasePointers( Display *display,
				   XIBarrierReleasePointerInfo *barriers,
				   int num_barriers);

     display
	    Specifies the connection to the X server.

     deviceid
	    Specifies the device allowed to move across the barrier.

     barrier
	    Specifies the barrier.

     eventid
	    Specifies the unique event ID for this barrier event sequence.

     barriers
	    List of deviceid, barrier, eventid triplets.

     num_barriers
	    Number of elements in barriers.

DESCRIPTION
	 If a pointer is constrained by a pointer barrier, release the pointer
	 from the barrier and allow it to cross the barrier with the next motion.
	 If the pointer moves away from the barrier, this request does nothing.

	 This request only releases the pointer for the given barrier event
	 sequence. If the pointer moves away from or through the barrier, a
	 XI_BarrierLeave event is generated. Future pointer movement constrained
	 by this barrier will assign a new eventid and require a new
	 XIBarrierReleasePointer request.

	 If the pointer is not currently blocked by the barrier or the barrier
	 event sequence has ended, this request does nothing.

	 XIBarrierReleasePointer and XIBarrierReleasePointers can generate a
	 BadDevice or BadValue error.

DIAGNOSTICS
	 BadDevice
		An invalid device was specified. The device does not
		exist or is not a master pointer device.

	 BadValue
		A value for a PointerBarrier argument does not name a defined
		pointer barrier.
