       XIconifyWindow, XWithdrawWindow, XReconfigureWMWindow - manipulate top-level windows

SYNTAX

       Status XIconifyWindow(Display *display, Window w, int screen_number);

       Status XWithdrawWindow(Display *display, Window w, int screen_number);

       Status XReconfigureWMWindow(Display *display, Window w, int screen_number, unsigned int
              value_mask, XWindowChanges *values);

ARGUMENTS

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       screen_number
                 Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.

       value_mask
                 Specifies which values are to be set using information in the values structure.
                 This mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid configure window values bits.

       values    Specifies the XWindowChanges structure.

       w         Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION

       The XIconifyWindow function sends a WM_CHANGE_STATE ClientMessage event with a format of
       32 and a first data element of IconicState (as described in section 4.1.4 of the Inter-
       Client Communication Conventions Manual) and a window of w to the root window of the
       specified screen with an event mask set to SubstructureNotifyMask|
       SubstructureRedirectMask.  Window managers may elect to receive this message and if the
       window is in its normal state, may treat it as a request to change the window's state from
       normal to iconic.  If the WM_CHANGE_STATE property cannot be interned, XIconifyWindow does
       not send a message and returns a zero status.  It returns a nonzero status if the client
       message is sent successfully; otherwise, it returns a zero status.

       The XWithdrawWindow function unmaps the specified window and sends a synthetic UnmapNotify
       event to the root window of the specified screen.  Window managers may elect to receive
       this message and may treat it as a request to change the window's state to withdrawn.
       When a window is in the withdrawn state, neither its normal nor its iconic representations
       is visible.  It returns a nonzero status if the UnmapNotify event is successfully sent;
       otherwise, it returns a zero status.

       XWithdrawWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The XReconfigureWMWindow function issues a ConfigureWindow request on the specified top-
       level window.  If the stacking mode is changed and the request fails with a BadMatch
       error, the error is trapped by Xlib and a synthetic ConfigureRequestEvent containing the
       same configuration parameters is sent to the root of the specified window.  Window
       managers may elect to receive this event and treat it as a request to reconfigure the
       indicated window.  It returns a nonzero status if the request or event is successfully
       sent; otherwise, it returns a zero status.

       XReconfigureWMWindow can generate BadValue and BadWindow errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
                 Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by
                 the argument's type is accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of alternatives
                 can generate this error.

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