XForceScreenSaver()					   XForceScreenSaver()

Name
  XForceScreenSaver – turn the screen saver on or off.

Synopsis
  XForceScreenSaver(display, mode)
	Display *display;
	int mode;

Arguments
  display   Specifies	a  connection  to  an  X  server;  returned  from
	    XOpenDisplay().

  mode	    Specifies whether the screen saver is active or  reset.   The
	    possible modes are:	 ScreenSaverActive or ScreenSaverReset.

Description
  XForceScreenSaver() resets or activates the screen saver.

  If  the  specified  mode is ScreenSaverActive and the screen saver cur‐
  rently is disabled, the screen saver is activated, even if  the  screen
  saver	 had been disabled by calling XSetScreenSaver() with a timeout of
  zero (0).  This means that the screen may go blank or have some  random
  change take place to save the phosphors.

  If  the  specified  mode  is ScreenSaverReset and the screen saver cur‐
  rently is enabled, the screen is returned to normal, the  screen  saver
  is  deactivated  and the activation timer is reset to its initial state
  (as if device input had been received).  Expose events may be generated
  on all visible windows if the server cannot save the entire screen con‐
  tents.

  For more information on the screen saver, see Volume One,  Chapter  15,
  Other Programming Techniques.
