XSetCloseDownMode(3)		 XLIB FUNCTIONS 	    XSetCloseDownMode(3)

NAME
     XSetCloseDownMode, XKillClient - control clients

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

     int XKillClient(Display *display, XID resource);

ARGUMENTS
     close_modeSpecifies  the  client close-down mode.	You can pass DestroyAll,
	       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 created the
     resource if a valid resource is specified.  If the client has already  ter-
     minated  in  either  RetainPermanent  or  RetainTemporary	mode, all of the
     client's resources are destroyed.	If AllTemporary is  specified,	the  re-
     sources  of  all  clients	that  have terminated in RetainTemporary are de-
     stroyed (see section 2.5).  This permits implementation of  window  manager
     facilities that aid debugging.  A client can set its close-down mode to Re-
     tainTemporary.   If  the  client then crashes, its windows would not be de-
     stroyed.  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 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.
