release queued events

## NAME

XAllowEvents - release queued events

## SYNTAX

int XAllowEvents(Display \**display*, int *event\_mode*, Time *time*);

- *time*

## DESCRIPTION

The *XAllowEvents* function releases some queued events if the client has caused a device  to freeze. It has no effect if the specified time is earlier than the last-grab time of the most recent active grab for the client or if the specified time is later than the current X server time.

*XAllowEvents* can generate a *BadValue* error.

## 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.
