NAME

       xcb_allow_events - release queued events

SYNOPSIS

       #include <xcb/xproto.h>

   Request function
       xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_allow_events(xcb_connection_t *conn, uint8_t mode,
              xcb_timestamp_t time);

REQUEST ARGUMENTS

       conn      The XCB connection to X11.

       mode      One of the following values:

                 XCB_ALLOW_ASYNC_POINTER
                           For AsyncPointer, if the pointer is frozen by the client, pointer
                           event processing continues normally. If the pointer is frozen twice by
                           the client on behalf of two separate grabs, AsyncPointer thaws for
                           both. AsyncPointer has no effect if the pointer is not frozen by the
                           client, but the pointer need not be grabbed by the client.

                           TODO: rewrite this in more understandable terms.

                 XCB_ALLOW_SYNC_POINTER
                           For SyncPointer, if the pointer is frozen and actively grabbed by the
                           client, pointer event processing continues normally until the next
                           ButtonPress or ButtonRelease event is reported to the client, at which
                           time the pointer again appears to freeze. However, if the reported
                           event causes the pointer grab to be released, then the pointer does
                           not freeze. SyncPointer has no effect if the pointer is not frozen by
                           the client or if the pointer is not grabbed by the client.

                 XCB_ALLOW_REPLAY_POINTER
                           For ReplayPointer, if the pointer is actively grabbed by the client
                           and is frozen as the result of an event having been sent to the client
                           (either from the activation of a GrabButton or from a previous
                           AllowEvents with mode SyncPointer but not from a GrabPointer), then
                           the pointer grab is released and that event is completely reprocessed,
                           this time ignoring any passive grabs at or above (towards the root)
                           the grab-window of the grab just released. The request has no effect
                           if the pointer is not grabbed by the client or if the pointer is not
                           frozen as the result of an event.

                 XCB_ALLOW_ASYNC_KEYBOARD
                           For AsyncKeyboard, if the keyboard is frozen by the client, keyboard
                           event processing continues normally. If the keyboard is frozen twice
                           by the client on behalf of two separate grabs, AsyncKeyboard thaws for
                           both. AsyncKeyboard has no effect if the keyboard is not frozen by the
                           client, but the keyboard need not be grabbed by the client.

                 XCB_ALLOW_SYNC_KEYBOARD
                           For SyncKeyboard, if the keyboard is frozen and actively grabbed by
                           the client, keyboard event processing continues normally until the
                           next KeyPress or KeyRelease event is reported to the client, at which
                           time the keyboard again appears to freeze. However, if the reported
                           event causes the keyboard grab to be released, then the keyboard does
                           not freeze. SyncKeyboard has no effect if the keyboard is not frozen
                           by the client or if the keyboard is not grabbed by the client.

                 XCB_ALLOW_REPLAY_KEYBOARD
                           For ReplayKeyboard, if the keyboard is actively grabbed by the client
                           and is frozen as the result of an event having been sent to the client
                           (either from the activation of a GrabKey or from a previous
                           AllowEvents with mode SyncKeyboard but not from a GrabKeyboard), then
                           the keyboard grab is released and that event is completely
                           reprocessed, this time ignoring any passive grabs at or above (towards
                           the root) the grab-window of the grab just released. The request has
                           no effect if the keyboard is not grabbed by the client or if the
                           keyboard is not frozen as the result of an event.

                 XCB_ALLOW_ASYNC_BOTH
                           For AsyncBoth, if the pointer and the keyboard are frozen by the
                           client, event processing for both devices continues normally. If a
                           device is frozen twice by the client on behalf of two separate grabs,
                           AsyncBoth thaws for both. AsyncBoth has no effect unless both pointer
                           and keyboard are frozen by the client.

                 XCB_ALLOW_SYNC_BOTH
                           For SyncBoth, if both pointer and keyboard are frozen by the client,
                           event processing (for both devices) continues normally until the next
                           ButtonPress, ButtonRelease, KeyPress, or KeyRelease event is reported
                           to the client for a grabbed device (button event for the pointer, key
                           event for the keyboard), at which time the devices again appear to
                           freeze. However, if the reported event causes the grab to be released,
                           then the devices do not freeze (but if the other device is still
                           grabbed, then a subsequent event for it will still cause both devices
                           to freeze). SyncBoth has no effect unless both pointer and keyboard
                           are frozen by the client. If the pointer or keyboard is frozen twice
                           by the client on behalf of two separate grabs, SyncBoth thaws for both
                           (but a subsequent freeze for SyncBoth will only freeze each device
                           once).

                 The special value XCB_CURRENT_TIME will be replaced with the current server
                 time.

DESCRIPTION

       Releases queued events if the client has caused a device (pointer/keyboard) to freeze due
       to grabbing it actively. This request has no effect if time is earlier than the last-grab
       time of the most recent active grab for this client or if time is later than the current X
       server time.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

       If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use
       xcb_allow_events_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

ERRORS

       xcb_value_error_t
                 You specified an invalid mode.
