NAME

       XDestroyWindow, XDestroySubwindows - destroy windows

SYNTAX

       int XDestroyWindow(Display *display, Window w);

       int XDestroySubwindows(Display *display, Window w);

ARGUMENTS

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w         Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION

       The XDestroyWindow function destroys the specified window as well as all of its subwindows
       and causes the X server to generate a DestroyNotify event for  each  window.   The  window
       should never be referenced again.  If the window specified by the w argument is mapped, it
       is unmapped automatically.  The ordering of the DestroyNotify events is such that for  any
       given  window  being  destroyed, DestroyNotify is generated on any inferiors of the window
       before being generated on the window itself.   The  ordering  among  siblings  and  across
       subhierarchies  is  not  otherwise  constrained.   If  the  window you specified is a root
       window, no windows are destroyed.  Destroying a mapped window will generate Expose  events
       on other windows that were obscured by the window being destroyed.

       XDestroyWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The  XDestroySubwindows function destroys all inferior windows of the specified window, in
       bottom-to-top stacking order.  It causes the X server to generate  a  DestroyNotify  event
       for  each  window.   If  any mapped subwindows were actually destroyed, XDestroySubwindows
       causes the X server to generate Expose events on the specified window.  This is much  more
       efficient  than  deleting  many  windows  one  at  a time because much of the work need be
       performed only once for all of the windows, rather than for each window.   The  subwindows
       should never be referenced again.

       XDestroySubwindows can generate a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS

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