DESCRIPTION
X Event Interception Extension (XEvIE) is designed for users who need
to intercept all the Keyboard and Mouse events. Programs can determine
which events should be forwarded to other clients and modify the events
if necessary.
FUNCTIONS
XevieQueryVersion The XevieQueryVersion function returns the major and
minor protocol version numbers supported by the server. XevieQueryVer-
sion returns True if success, otherwise, it returns False.
XevieStart The XevieStart function requests that the X server enable
the XEvIE extension. Once XEvIE is successfully enabled, all the
XevieSelectInput specified events will be sent to the client which has
enabled XEvIE. If XKB or AccessX is enabled, the events that are sent
to the XEvIE clients are XKB/AccessX processed (filtered) ones.
XevieSendEvent Events are sent back to the X server through XevieSendE-
vent.
XevieEnd The XevieEnd function requests that the X server disables the
XEvIE extension. Once XEvIE is disabled successfully, the X server
stops sending events to the XEvIE client.
XevieSelectInput The XevieSelectInput function requests that the X
server reports the keyboard and pointer events associated with the
specified event mask. By default, X will report KeyPress, KeyRelease,
ButtonPress, ButtonRelease and MotionNotify events.
RESTRICTIONS
Xevie will remain upward compatible after the current 1.0 release.
