XLockDisplay(3X)		XLIB FUNCTIONS		      XLockDisplay(3X)

NAME
       XLockDisplay - locks a display

SYNTAX
       void XLockDisplay(display)
	     Display *display;

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

DESCRIPTION
       The XLockDisplay function locks out all other threads from using the
       specified display.  Other threads attempting to use the display will
       block until the display is unlocked by this thread.  Nested calls to
       XLockDisplay work correctly; the display will not actually be unlocked
       until XUnlockDisplay has been called the same number of times as XLock‐
       Display.	 This function has no effect unless Xlib was successfully ini‐
       tialized for threads using XInitThreads.

SEE ALSO
       XInitThreads(3X), XUnLockDisplay(3X)

X Version 11			   Release 6		      XLockDisplay(3X)
