XIconifyWindow(3)		 XLIB FUNCTIONS 	       XIconifyWindow(3)

NAME
     XIconifyWindow,  XWithdrawWindow,	XReconfigureWMWindow  -  manipulate top-
     level windows

SYNTAX
     Status XIconifyWindow(Display *display, Window w, int screen_number);

     Status XWithdrawWindow(Display *display, Window w, int screen_number);

     Status XReconfigureWMWindow(Display *display, Window w, int  screen_number,
	    unsigned int value_mask, XWindowChanges *values);

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     screen_number
	       Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.

     value_maskSpecifies  which  values  are  to be set using information in the
	       values structure.  This mask is the bitwise inclusive OR  of  the
	       valid configure window values bits.

     values    Specifies the XWindowChanges structure.

     w	       Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION
     The  XIconifyWindow  function  sends  a WM_CHANGE_STATE ClientMessage event
     with a format of 32 and a first data element of IconicState  (as  described
     in  section 4.1.4 of the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual) and
     a window of w to the root window of the specified screen with an event mask
     set to SubstructureNotifyMask| SubstructureRedirectMask.	Window	managers
     may elect to receive this message and if the window is in its normal state,
     may  treat  it  as  a  request  to change the window's state from normal to
     iconic.  If the WM_CHANGE_STATE property cannot be interned, XIconifyWindow
     does not send a message and returns a zero status.  It  returns  a  nonzero
     status  if the client message is sent successfully; otherwise, it returns a
     zero status.

     The XWithdrawWindow function unmaps the specified window and sends  a  syn-
     thetic  UnmapNotify event to the root window of the specified screen.  Win-
     dow managers may elect to receive this message and may treat it  as  a  re-
     quest  to	change the window's state to withdrawn.  When a window is in the
     withdrawn state, neither its normal nor its iconic representations is visi-
     ble.  It returns a nonzero status if the UnmapNotify event is  successfully
     sent; otherwise, it returns a zero status.

     XWithdrawWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

     The  XReconfigureWMWindow	function issues a ConfigureWindow request on the
     specified top-level window.  If the stacking mode is changed  and	the  re-
     quest  fails with a BadMatch error, the error is trapped by Xlib and a syn-
     thetic ConfigureRequestEvent containing the same  configuration  parameters
     is  sent to the root of the specified window.  Window managers may elect to
     receive this event and treat it as a request to reconfigure  the  indicated
     window.   It  returns  a nonzero status if the request or event is success-
     fully sent; otherwise, it returns a zero status.

     XReconfigureWMWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

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

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