XIQUERYVERSION(3)

NAME
XIQueryVersion - announce and query the support XI2 version.

SYNOPSIS

#include <X11/extensions/XInput2.h>

Status XIQueryVersion( Display *display,
                       int *major_version_inout,
                       int *minor_version_inout);

display
       Specifies the connection to the X server.

major_version_inout
       Specifies the client's supported XI2 version, and
       returns the server's supported version.

minor_version_inout
       Specifies the client's supported XI2 version, and
       returns the server's supported version.

DESCRIPTION

    XIQueryVersion announces the client's supported XI2 version to
    the server and returns server's supported X Input version. Clients
    are required to use XIQueryVersion instead of XGetExtensionVersion
    if they use XI2 calls. The server may treat a client differently
    depending on the supported version announced by the client.
    The major_version_inout must be 2 or greater, otherwise a BadValue
    error occurs.

    If the server does not support XI2, XIQueryVersion returns BadRequest
    to the client. Otherwise, XIQueryVersion returns Success. In both
    cases major_version_inout and minor_version_inout are set to the
    server's supported version.

    XIQueryVersion can generate a BadValue error.

EXAMPLES

    int rc;
    int major = 2;
    int minor = 0;

    rc = XIQueryVersion(dpy, &major, &minor);
    if (rc == Success)
        printf("XI2 supported. (%d.%d)\n", major, minor);
    else if (rc == BadRequest)
        printf("No XI2 support. (%d.%d only)\n", major, minor);
    else
        printf("Internal error\n");

DIAGNOSTICS

    BadValue
           A value is outside of the permitted range.
