XtAppAddInput(3Xt)		XT FUNCTIONS		   XtAppAddInput(3Xt)



NAME
  XtAppAddInput, XtRemoveInput - register and remove an input source

SYNTAX
  XtInputId XtAppAddInput(app_context, source, condition, proc, client_data)
	XtAppContext app_context;
	int source;
	XtPointer condition;
	XtInputCallbackProc proc;
	XtPointer client_data;

  void XtRemoveInput(id)
	XtInputId id;

ARGUMENTS

  app_context
	    Specifies the application context that identifies the applica-
	    tion.

  client_data
	    Specifies the argument that is to be passed to the specified pro-
	    cedure when input is available.

  condition Specifies the mask that indicates a read, write, or exception
	    condition or some operating system dependent condition.

  id	    Specifies the ID returned from the corresponding XtAppAddInput
	    call.

  proc	    Specifies the procedure that is to be called when input is avail-
	    able.

  source    Specifies the source file descriptor on a UNIX-based system or
	    other operating system dependent device specification.

DESCRIPTION
  The XtAppAddInput function registers with the Intrinsics read routine a new
  source of events, which is usually file input but can also be file output.
  Note that file should be loosely interpreted to mean any sink or source of
  data.	 XtAppAddInput also specifies the conditions under which the source
  can generate events.	When input is pending on this source, the callback
  procedure is called.

  The legal values for the condition argument are operating-system dependent.
  On a UNIX-based system, the condition is some union of XtInputReadMask,
  XtInputWriteMask, and XtInputExceptMask.  The XtRemoveInput function causes
  the Intrinsics read routine to stop watching for input from the input
  source.

BUGS
  In ANSI C it is necessary to cast the condition to an XtPointer, e.g.:
      XtAppAddInput(app_context,
	  source,
	  (XtPointer) XtInputReadMask | XtInputWriteMask,
	  proc,
	  client_data);
