NAME

xcb_warp_pointer - move mouse pointer

SYNOPSIS

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

Request function

: xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_warp_pointer(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_window_t src_window, xcb_window_t dst_window, int16_t src_x, int16_t src_y, uint16_t src_width, uint16_t src_height, int16_t dst_x, int16_t dst_y);

REQUEST ARGUMENTS

conn: The XCB connection to X11.
src_window: If src_window is not XCB_NONE (TODO), the move will only take place if the pointer is inside src_window and within the rectangle specified by (src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height). The rectangle coordinates are relative to src_window.
dst_window: If dst_window is not XCB_NONE (TODO), the pointer will be moved to the offsets (dst_x, dst_y) relative to dst_window. If dst_window is XCB_NONE (TODO), the pointer will be moved by the offsets (dst_x, dst_y) relative to the current position of the pointer.
src_x: TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
src_y: TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
src_width: TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
src_height: TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
dst_x: TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
dst_y: TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

DESCRIPTION

Moves the mouse pointer to the specified position.

If src_window is not XCB_NONE (TODO), the move will only take place if the pointer is inside src_window and within the rectangle specified by (src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height). The rectangle coordinates are relative to src_window.

If dst_window is not XCB_NONE (TODO), the pointer will be moved to the offsets (dst_x, dst_y) relative to dst_window. If dst_window is XCB_NONE (TODO), the pointer will be moved by the offsets (dst_x, dst_y) relative to the current position of the pointer.

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_warp_pointer_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

ERRORS

xcb_window_error_t: TODO: reasons?
