xcb_destroy_window_checked3
Destroys a window
Part of xcb_destroy_window(3).
Usage
Request function
xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_destroy_window(xcb_connection_t
*conn,
xcb_window_t
window);
Request arguments
- conn
-
The XCB connection to X11.
- window
-
The window to destroy.
Overview
Destroys the specified window and all of its subwindows. A DestroyNotify event is generated for each destroyed window (a DestroyNotify event is first generated for any given window's inferiors). If the window was mapped, it will be automatically unmapped before destroying.
Calling DestroyWindow on the root window will do nothing.
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_destroy_window_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
Errors
- xcb_window_error_t
-
The specified window does not exist.
