# XpInputSelected(3)

Queries which X Print events the client has selected to receive from the specific print context.

## NAME

XpInputSelected - Queries which X Print events the client has selected to receive from the specific print context.

## SYNOPSIS

      cc \[ flag... \] file... -lXp \[ library... \]\
\
       \#include \<X11/extensions/Print.h\>

**unsigned long XpInputSelected** ( *display,* *context,* *event\_mask* )\
\
       Display \**display*;\
\
       XPContext *context*;\
\
       unsigned long \**all\_event\_mask\_return*;

## ARGUMENTS

- *display*

  Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay.

- *context*

  Specifies the print context to which the query is being made.

- *all\_event\_mask\_return*

  Returns the set of events that any client has selected.

## DESCRIPTION

XpInputSelected returns a bit mask describing which event classes the client has selected to receive. The value returned to *all\_event\_mask\_return* is the union of every client's event mask. XpInputSelected queries which X Print events from the specified print context the client has selected to receive. The X Print Events are generated from a print context, and not from a window as is the case with XSelectInput. As events arrive, the context field in the event is used to determine which print context generated the event. See XpSelectInput for the *event\_mask* and *all\_event\_mask* (??return??) values.

## DIAGNOSTICS

- XPBadContext

  The specified print context is not valid.
