NAME

       XIQueryVersion - announce and query the support XI2 version.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <X11/extensions/XInput2.h>

       Status XIQueryVersion( Display *display,
                              int *major_version_inout,
                              int *minor_version_inout);

       display
              Specifies the connection to the X server.

       major_version_inout
              Specifies the client's supported XI2 version, and
              returns the server's supported version.

       minor_version_inout
              Specifies the client's supported XI2 version, and
              returns the server's supported version.

DESCRIPTION

           XIQueryVersion announces the client's supported XI2 version to
           the server and returns server's supported X Input version. Clients
           are required to use XIQueryVersion instead of XGetExtensionVersion
           if they use XI2 calls. The server may treat a client differently
           depending on the supported version announced by the client.
           The major_version_inout must be 2 or greater, otherwise a BadValue
           error occurs.

           If the server does not support XI2, XIQueryVersion returns BadRequest
           to the client. Otherwise, XIQueryVersion returns Success. In both
           cases major_version_inout and minor_version_inout are set to the
           server's supported version.

           If the client has previously called XIQueryVersion, then the result
           depends on the previously requested version and the currently
           requested version.

           If either the previous or current requested versions is less than
           2.2, or if the requested major version numbers do not match, then
           consecutive calls to XIQueryVersion by the same client always
           return the first returned major.minor version. If the client
           requests a version lower than the first returned major.minor
           version in a subsequent call, a BadValue error occurs.

           If all of the requested versions are 2.2 or greater, then
           consecutive calls to XIQueryVersion by the same client with the
           same major version will return the requested version, but the server
           will operate according to the highest requested version number or
           the highest supported version, whichever is lower.

           XIQueryVersion can generate a BadValue error.

EXAMPLES

           int rc;
           int major = 2;
           int minor = 0;

           rc = XIQueryVersion(dpy, &major, &minor);
           if (rc == Success)
               printf("XI2 supported. (%d.%d)\n", major, minor);
           else if (rc == BadRequest)
               printf("No XI2 support. (%d.%d only)\n", major, minor);
           else
               printf("Internal error\n");

DIAGNOSTICS

           BadValue
                  A value is outside of the permitted range.
