xcb_unmap_window(3) XCB Requests xcb_unmap_window(3)
NAME
xcb_unmap_window - Makes a window invisible
SYNOPSIS
#include <xcb/xproto.h>
Request function
xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_unmap_window(xcb_connection_t *conn,
xcb_window_t window);
REQUEST ARGUMENTS
conn The XCB connection to X11.
window The window to make invisible.
DESCRIPTION
Unmaps the specified window. This means making the window invisible (and
all its child windows).
Unmapping a window leads to the UnmapNotify event being generated. Also,
Expose events are generated for formerly obscured windows.
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_unmap_window_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
ERRORS
xcb_window_error_t
The specified window does not exist.
