5 Event Handling

Events are sent from the X server to the X client. Most of the event types deal with user input, but there are also event types used for inter-client communication.

Most X applications are built around an event loop, where the client waits for the server to send events. The client responds to the events, typically by doing one or more X requests.

5.1 Getting Events		Waiting for events.
5.2 Selecting Events		Selecting interesting events.
5.3 Event Types		Details on all event types.
5.4 Sending Events		Clients sending events to other clients.
