ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
screen_number
Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.
count_return
Returns the number of depths.
DESCRIPTION
The AllPlanes macro returns a value with all bits set to 1 suitable for
use in a plane argument to a procedure.
The BlackPixel macro returns the black pixel value for the specified
screen.
The WhitePixel macro returns the white pixel value for the specified
screen.
The ConnectionNumber macro returns a connection number for the specified
display.
The DefaultColormap macro returns the default colormap ID for allocation
on the specified screen.
The DefaultDepth macro returns the depth (number of planes) of the de-
fault root window for the specified screen.
The XListDepths function returns the array of depths that are available
on the specified screen. If the specified screen_number is valid and
sufficient memory for the array can be allocated, XListDepths sets
count_return to the number of available depths. Otherwise, it does not
set count_return and returns NULL. To release the memory allocated for
the array of depths, use XFree.
The DefaultGC macro returns the default GC for the root window of the
specified screen.
The DefaultRootWindow macro returns the root window for the default
screen.
The DefaultScreenOfDisplay macro returns the default screen of the spec-
ified display.
The DefaultScreen macro returns the default screen number referenced in
the XOpenDisplay routine.
The DefaultVisual macro returns the default visual type for the speci-
fied screen.
The DisplayCells macro returns the number of entries in the default col-
ormap.
The DisplayPlanes macro returns the depth of the root window of the
specified screen.
The DisplayString macro returns the string that was passed to XOpenDis-
play when the current display was opened.
The XMaxRequestSize function returns the maximum request size (in 4-byte
units) supported by the server without using an extended-length protocol
encoding. Single protocol requests to the server can be no larger than
this size unless an extended-length protocol encoding is supported by
the server. The protocol guarantees the size to be no smaller than 4096
units (16384 bytes). Xlib automatically breaks data up into multiple
protocol requests as necessary for the following functions: XDrawPoints,
XDrawRectangles, XDrawSegments, XFillArcs, XFillRectangles, and XPutIm-
age.
The XExtendedMaxRequestSize function returns zero if the specified dis-
play does not support an extended-length protocol encoding; otherwise,
it returns the maximum request size (in 4-byte units) supported by the
server using the extended-length encoding. The Xlib functions XDraw-
Lines, XDrawArcs, XFillPolygon, XChangeProperty, XSetClipRectangles, and
XSetRegion will use the extended-length encoding as necessary, if sup-
ported by the server. Use of the extended-length encoding in other Xlib
functions (for example, XDrawPoints, XDrawRectangles, XDrawSegments,
XFillArcs, XFillRectangles, XPutImage) is permitted but not required; an
Xlib implementation may choose to split the data across multiple smaller
requests instead.
The LastKnownRequestProcessed macro extracts the full serial number of
the last request known by Xlib to have been processed by the X server.
The NextRequest macro extracts the full serial number that is to be used
for the next request.
The ProtocolVersion macro returns the major version number (11) of the X
protocol associated with the connected display.
The ProtocolRevision macro returns the minor protocol revision number of
the X server.
The QLength macro returns the length of the event queue for the con-
nected display.
The RootWindow macro returns the root window.
The ScreenCount macro returns the number of available screens.
The ScreenOfDisplay macro returns a pointer to the screen of the speci-
fied display.
The ServerVendor macro returns a pointer to a null-terminated string
that provides some identification of the owner of the X server implemen-
tation.
The VendorRelease macro returns a number related to a vendor's release
of the X server.
