       event_mask
                 Specifies the event mask.

       event_return
                 Returns the matched event's associated structure.

       event_return
                 Returns the next event in the queue.

       event_return
                 Returns a copy of the matched event's associated structure.

       event_type
                 Specifies the event type to be compared.

       w         Specifies the window whose event you are interested in.


DESCRIPTION

       The  XNextEvent  function  copies  the first event from the event queue
       into the specified XEvent structure and then removes it from the queue.
       If  the  event queue is empty, XNextEvent flushes the output buffer and
       blocks until an event is received.

       The XPeekEvent function returns the first event from the  event  queue,
       but  it  does  not  remove  the  event from the queue.  If the queue is
       empty, XPeekEvent flushes the output buffer and blocks until  an  event
       is  received.  It then copies the event into the client-supplied XEvent
       structure without removing it from the event queue.

       The XWindowEvent function searches the event queue for  an  event  that
       matches  both  the  specified  window  and event mask.  When it finds a
       match, XWindowEvent removes that event from the  queue  and  copies  it
       into  the  specified  XEvent structure.  The other events stored in the
       queue are not discarded.  If a matching event  is  not  in  the  queue,
       XWindowEvent  flushes  the  output  buffer  and  blocks  until  one  is
       received.

       The XCheckWindowEvent function searches the event queue  and  then  the
       events  available  on  the  server  connection for the first event that
       matches the specified window and event mask.   If  it  finds  a  match,
       XCheckWindowEvent  removes  that  event,  copies  it into the specified
       XEvent structure, and returns True.  The other  events  stored  in  the
       queue  are not discarded.  If the event you requested is not available,
       XCheckWindowEvent returns False, and the output buffer will  have  been
       flushed.

       The XMaskEvent function searches the event queue for the events associ-
       ated with the specified  mask.   When  it  finds  a  match,  XMaskEvent
       removes  that  event and copies it into the specified XEvent structure.
       The other events stored in the queue are not discarded.  If  the  event
       you requested is not in the queue, XMaskEvent flushes the output buffer
       and blocks until one is received.

       The XCheckMaskEvent function searches the  event  queue  and  then  any
       events  available  on  the  server  connection for the first event that
       matches the specified mask.   If  it  finds  a  match,  XCheckMaskEvent
       removes  that event, copies it into the specified XEvent structure, and
       returns True.  The other events stored in the queue are not  discarded.
       If  the  event  you requested is not available, XCheckMaskEvent returns
       False, and the output buffer will have been flushed.

       The XCheckTypedEvent function searches the event  queue  and  then  any
       events  available  on  the  server  connection for the first event that
       matches the specified type.  If  it  finds  a  match,  XCheckTypedEvent
       removes  that event, copies it into the specified XEvent structure, and
       returns True.  The other events in the queue are not discarded.  If the
       event  is not available, XCheckTypedEvent returns False, and the output
       buffer will have been flushed.

       The XCheckTypedWindowEvent function searches the event queue  and  then
       any  events available on the server connection for the first event that
       matches the specified type and window.  If it finds  a  match,  XCheck-
       TypedWindowEvent  removes  the event from the queue, copies it into the
       specified XEvent structure, and returns True.  The other events in  the
       queue  are  not discarded.  If the event is not available, XCheckTyped-
       WindowEvent returns  False,  and  the  output  buffer  will  have  been
       flushed.
