XRaiseWindow()							XRaiseWindow()

Name
  XRaiseWindow – raise a window to the top of the stacking order.

Synopsis
  XRaiseWindow(display, w)
	Display *display;
	Window w;

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

  w	    Specifies the ID of the window to be raised to the top of the
	    stack.

Description
  XRaiseWindow()  moves	 a  window to the top of the stacking order among
  its siblings.	 If the windows are regarded  as  overlapping  sheets  of
  paper	 stacked  on a desk, then raising a window is analogous to moving
  the sheet to the top of the stack, while leaving its x and  y	 location
  on the desk constant.

  Raising  a  mapped  window may generate exposure events for that window
  and any mapped subwindows of that window that were formerly obscured.

  If the override_redirect attribute of the window (see Volume One, Chap‐
  ter  4, Window Attributes) is False and the window manager has selected
  SubstructureRedirectMask on the parent, then a  ConfigureRequest  event
  is sent to the window manager, and no further processing is performed.

Errors
  BadWindow
