# DMXRemoveInput(3)

detach an input

## NAME

DMXRemoveInput - detach an input

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<X11/extensions/dmxext.h\>**

```
Bool DMXRemoveInput(Display *dpy,
                    int id);
```

## DESCRIPTION

**DMXRemoveInput()** detaches the input device with *id*, and all associated inputs (e.g., if the *id* is a backend mouse, and a keyboard is also attached to the backend, then both devices will be detached).

## RETURN VALUE

**DMXRemoveInput()** returns **True** unless there is a protocol error.

**DMXRemoveInput()** can generate **BadValue** (if the *id* is not valid) and **BadAccess** (if the input has already been detached).
