XtNextEvent()							 XtNextEvent()

Name
  XtNextEvent - return next event from input queue.

Synopsis
  void XtNextEvent(event_return)
	 XEvent *event_return;

Inputs
  None.

Outputs
  event_return
	      Returns the dequeued event structure.

Availability
  XtNextEvent() has been superseded by XtAppNextEvent().

Description
  XtNextEvent()	 returns the next event on the input queue.  If no events
  are pending, it flushes the output buffer and	 blocks.   It  also  dis‐
  patches  timer  and alternate input callbacks and calls any work proce‐
  dures that have been registered with XtAddWorkProc().

Usage
  XtNextEvent() has been superseded by XtAppNextEvent(),  which	 performs
  the  same  function  on a per-application context basis.  XtNextEvent()
  now calls XtAppNextEvent() passing the default application context cre‐
  ated	by  XtInitialize().   Very few programs need multiple application
  contexts, and you can continue to use XtNextEvent() if  you  initialize
  your	application with XtInitialize().  We recommend, however, that you
  use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppNextEvent(), and the other XtApp*()  appli‐
  cation context specific functions.

  See XtAppNextEvent() for more information.
