 display
        Specifies the connection to the X server.
 
 device
        Specifies the device that is to be grabbed or released
 
 button
        Specifies the device button that is to be grabbed or
        released or XIAnyButton.
 
 keycode
        Specifies the keycode that is to be grabbed or released
        or XIAnyKeycode.
 
 num_modifiers
        Number of elements in modifiers or modifiers_return
 
 modifiers
        Specifies the set of latched and base modifiers or
        XIAnyModifier to ungrab. The data type is for
        consistency with the respective grab request and the
        status code of the XIGrabModifiers struct is ignored.
 
 modifiers_inout
        Specifies the set of latched and base modifiers or
        XIAnyModifier to grab. Returns the modifiers that could
        not be grabbed and their status code.
 
 grab_window
        Specifies the grab window.
 
 owner_events
        Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the are
        to be reported as usual or reported with respect to the
        grab window.
 
 mask
        Specifies the event mask.
 
 grab_mode
        Specifies further processing of events from this device.
        You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.
 
 paired_device_mode
        Specifies further processing of events from the paired
        master device. You can pass GrabModeSync or
        GrabModeAsync. If deviceid specifies a floating slave
        device, this parameter is ignored.
 

DESCRIPTION

 XIGrabButton and XIGrabKeycode establishes a passive grab. The
 modifier device for a button grab is the paired master device
 if deviceid specifies a master pointer. Otherwise, the modifier
 device is the device specified with deviceid. In the future,
 the device is actively grabbed (as for XIGrabDevice, the
 last-grab time is set to the time at which the button or keycode
 was pressed and the X_XIButtonPress or X_XIKeyPress event is
 reported if all of the following conditions are true:
   * The device is not grabbed, and the specified button or
     keycode is logically pressed when the specified modifier
     keys are logically down on the modifier device and no other
     buttons or modifier keys are logically down.
   * Either the grab window is an ancestor of (or is) the focus
     window, OR the grab window is a descendent of the focus
     window and contains the device.
   * A passive grab on the same button/modifier combination does
     not exist on any ancestor of grab_window.
 
 The interpretation of the remaining arguments is as for
 XIGrabDevice. The active grab is terminated automatically when
 the logical state of the device has all buttons or keys
 released (independent of the logical state of the modifier
 keys).
 
 If the device is an attached slave device, the device is
 automatically detached from the master device when the grab
 activates and reattached to the same master device when the
 grab deactivates. If the master device is removed while the
 device is floating as a result of a grab, the device remains
 floating once the grab deactivates.
 
 Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by client
 applications) may lag the physical state if device event
 processing is frozen.
 
 This request overrides all previous grabs by the same client on
 the same button/modifier or keycode/modifier combinations on the
 same window. A modifiers of XIAnyModifier is equivalent to
 issuing the grab request for all possible modifier combinations
 (including the combination of no modifiers). It is not required
 that all modifiers specified have currently assigned KeyCodes.
 A button of XIAnyButton is equivalent to issuing the request
 for all possible buttons. Otherwise, it is not required that
 the specified button currently be assigned to a physical
 button.
 
 If some other client has already issued a XIGrabButton or
 XIGrabKeycode with the same button/modifier or keycode/modifier
 combination on the same window, a BadAccess error results. When
 using XIAnyModifier or XIAnyButton , the request fails
 completely, and a XIBadAccess error results (no grabs are
 established) if there is a conflicting grab for any
 combination. XIGrabButton and XIGrabKeycode have no effect on an
 active grab.
 
 XIGrabButton and XIGrabKeycode can generate BadClass, BadDevice,
 BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
 
 XIUngrabButton and XIUngrabKeycode releases the passive grab for
 a button/modifier or keycode/modifier combination on the
 specified window if it was grabbed by this client. A modifier
 of XIAnyModifier is equivalent to issuing the ungrab request
 for all possible modifier combinations, including the
 combination of no modifiers. A button of XIAnyButton is
 equivalent to issuing the request for all possible buttons.
 XIUngrabButton and XIUngrabKeycode have no effect on an active
 grab.
 
 XIUngrabButton and XIUngrabKeycode can generate BadDevice,
 BadMatch, BadValue and BadWindow errors.
 

DIAGNOSTICS

 BadDevice
        An invalid deviceid was specified.
 
 BadMatch
        This error may occur if XIGrabButton specified a device
        that has no buttons, or XIGrabKeycode specified a device
        that has no keys.
 
 BadValue
        Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
        accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is
        specified for an argument, the full range defined by the
        argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a
        set of alternatives can generate this error.
 
 BadWindow
        A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
        Window.
