xcb_composite_redirect_subwindows3

Redirect all current and future children of ‘window’

Usage

#include <xcb/composite.h>

Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_composite_redirect_subwindows(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_window_t window, uint8_t update);

Request arguments

conn

The XCB connection to X11.

window

The root of the hierarchy to redirect to off-screen storage.

update

Whether contents are automatically mirrored to the parent window. If one client
already specifies an update type of Manual, any attempt by another to specify a
mode of Manual so will result in an Access error.

Overview

Hierarchies starting at all current and future children of window
will be redirected as in RedirectWindow. If update is Manual,
then painting of the window background during window manipulation
and ClearArea requests is inhibited.

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_composite_redirect_subwindows_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

Errors

This request does never generate any errors.
