XSetErrorHandler(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XSetErrorHandler(3)
NAME XSetErrorHandler, XGetErrorText, XDisplayName, XSetIOErrorHandler, XSetIOErrorExitHandler, XGetErrorDatabaseText - default error handlers
SYNTAX int (*XSetErrorHandler(int (*handler)(Display *, XErrorEvent *)))();
int XGetErrorText(Display *display, int code, char *buffer_return, int length);
char *XDisplayName(_Xconst char *string);
int (*XSetIOErrorHandler(int (*handler)(Display *)))();
void (*XSetIOErrorExitHandler(Display *display, void (*handler)(Display *, void *), void *user_data))();
int XGetErrorDatabaseText(Display *display, _Xconst char *name, _Xconst char *message, _Xconst char *default_string, char *buffer_return, int length);
ARGUMENTS buffer_return Returns the error description.
code Specifies the error code for which you want to obtain a description.
default_string Specifies the default error message if none is found in the database.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
handler Specifies the program's supplied error handler.
length Specifies the size of the buffer.
message Specifies the type of the error message.
name Specifies the name of the application.
string Specifies the character string.
DESCRIPTION Xlib generally calls the program's supplied error handler whenever an error is received. It is not called on BadName errors from OpenFont, LookupColor, or AllocNamedColor protocol requests or on BadFont errors from a QueryFont protocol request. These errors generally are reflected back to the program through the procedural interface. Because this condition is not assumed to be fatal, it is acceptable for your error handler to return; the returned value is ignored. However, the error handler should not call any functions (directly or indirectly) on the display that will generate protocol requests or that will look for input events. The previous error handler is returned.
The XGetErrorText function copies a null-terminated string describing XDisplayName looks in the environment for the display and returns the display name that XOpenDisplay would attempt to use. This makes it easier to report to the user precisely which display the program attempted to open when the initial connection attempt failed.
The XSetIOErrorHandler sets the fatal I/O error handler. Xlib calls the program's supplied error handler if any sort of system call error occurs (for example, the connection to the server was lost). This is assumed to be a fatal condition, and the called routine should normally not return. If the I/O error handler does return, the client process exits by default, this behavior may be altered with the XSetIOErrorExitHandler function.
Note that the previous error handler is returned.
The XGetErrorDatabaseText function returns a null-terminated message (or the default message) from the error message database. Xlib uses this function internally to look up its error messages. The text in the default_string argument is assumed to be in the encoding of the current locale, and the text stored in the buffer_return argument is in the encoding of the current locale.
The name argument should generally be the name of your application. The message argument should indicate which type of error message you want. If the name and message are not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation-dependent. Xlib uses three predefined "application names" to report errors. In these names, uppercase and lowercase matter.
XProtoError The protocol error number is used as a string for the message argument.
XlibMessage These are the message strings that are used internally by the library.
XRequest For a core protocol request, the major request protocol number is used for the message argument. For an extension request, the extension name (as given by InitExtension) followed by a period (.) and the minor request protocol number is used for the message argument. If no string is found in the error database, the default_string is returned to the buffer argument.
