XQueryExtension
NAME
XQueryExtension, XListExtensions, XFreeExtensionList - list available extensions
SYNTAX
Bool XQueryExtension(\^display, name, major_opcode_return, first_event_return, first_error_return\^)
char **XListExtensions(\^display, nextensions_return\^)
XFreeExtensionList(\^list\^)
ARGUMENTS
display
Specifies the connection to the X server.
name
Specifies the extension name.
major_opcode_return
Returns the major opcode.
first_event_return
Returns the first event code, if any.
first_error_return
Returns the first error code, if any.
nextensions_return
Returns the number of extensions listed.
list
Specifies the list of extension names.
DESCRIPTION
The XQueryExtension function determines if the named extension is
present. If the extension is not present, XQueryExtension returns
False; otherwise, it returns True. If the extension is present,
XQueryExtension returns the major opcode for the extension to
major_opcode_return; otherwise, it returns zero. Any minor opcode and the
request formats are specific to the extension. If the extension involves
additional event types, XQueryExtension returns the base event type code
to first_event_return; otherwise, it returns zero. The format of the events is
specific to the extension. If the extension involves additional error codes,
XQueryExtension returns the base error code to first_error_return;
otherwise, it returns zero. The format of additional data in the errors is
specific to the extension. If the extension name is not in the Host Portable
Character Encoding the result is implementation-dependent. Uppercase and
lowercase matter; the strings ``thing'', ``Thing'', and ``thinG'' are all
considered different names.
The XListExtensions function returns a list of all extensions supported
by the server. If the data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable
Character Encoding, then the returned strings are in the Host Portable
Character Encoding. Otherwise, the result is implementation-dependent.
The XFreeExtensionList function frees the memory allocated by
XListExtensions.
