.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP \fIclient_data\fP 1i
Specifies the additional client data.
.ds Cn file descriptors
.IP \fIcount_return\fP 1i
Returns the number of \*(Cn.
.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
Specifies the connection to the X server.
.IP \fIfd\fP 1i
Specifies the file descriptor.
.IP \fIfd_return\fP 1i
Returns the file descriptors.
.IP \fIprocedure\fP 1i
Specifies the procedure to be called.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.ZN XAddConnectionWatch
function registers a procedure to be called each time Xlib opens or closes an
internal connection for the specified display.  The procedure is passed the
display, the specified client_data, the file descriptor for the connection,
a Boolean indicating whether the connection is being opened or closed, and a
pointer to a location for private watch data.  If opening is
.ZN True ,
the procedure can store a pointer to private data in the location pointed
to by watch_data;
when the procedure is later called for this same connection and opening is
.ZN False ,
the location pointed to by watch_data will hold this same private data pointer.
.LP
This function can be called at any time after a display is opened.
If internal connections already exist, the registered procedure will
immediately be called for each of them, before
.ZN XAddConnectionWatch
returns.
.ZN XAddConnectionWatch
returns a nonzero status if the procedure is successfully registered;
otherwise, it returns zero.
.LP
The registered procedure should not call any Xlib functions.
If the procedure directly or indirectly causes the state of internal
connections or watch procedures to change, the result is not defined.
If Xlib has been initialized for threads, the procedure is called with
the display locked and the result of a call by the procedure to any
Xlib function that locks the display is not defined unless the executing
thread has externally locked the display using
.ZN XLockDisplay .
.LP
The
.ZN XRemoveConnectionWatch
function removes a previously registered connection watch procedure.
The client_data must match the client_data used when the procedure
was initially registered.

.LP
The
.ZN XProcessInternalConnection
function processes input available on an internal connection.
This function should be called for an internal connection only
after an operating system facility (for example,
.ZN select
or
.ZN poll )
has indicated that input is available; otherwise,
the effect is not defined.
.LP
The
.ZN XInternalConnectionNumbers
function returns a list of the file descriptors for all internal
connections currently open for the specified display.
When the allocated list is no longer needed,
free it by using
.ZN XFree .
This functions returns a nonzero status if the list is successfully allocated;
otherwise, it returns zero.
