XQueryTree(3X11)XQueryTree(3X11)NAMEXQueryTree - query window tree information
SYNOPSIS
Status XQueryTree(display, w, root_return, parent_return, chil‐
dren_return, nchildren_return)
Display *display;
Window w;
Window *root_return;
Window *parent_return;
Window **children_return;
unsigned int *nchildren_return;
ARGUMENTS
Returns the list of children. Specifies the connection to the X
server. Returns the number of children. Returns the parent window.
Returns the root window. Specifies the window whose list of children,
root, parent, and number of children you want to obtain.
DESCRIPTION
The XQueryTree function returns the root ID, the parent window ID, a
pointer to the list of children windows (NULL when there are no chil‐
dren), and the number of children in the list for the specified window.
The children are listed in current stacking order, from bottom-most
(first) to top-most (last). XQueryTree returns zero if it fails and
nonzero if it succeeds. To free a non-NULL children list when it is no
longer needed, use XFree.
BUGS
This really should return a screen *, not a root window ID.
