- .SH ARGUMENTS
- .AS "Tk_ErrorHandler" clientData
- .AP Display *display in
- Display whose errors are to be handled.
- .AP int error in
- Match only error events with this value in the \fIerror_code\fR
- field. If -1, then match any \fIerror_code\fR value.
- .AP int request in
- Match only error events with this value in the \fIrequest_code\fR
- field. If -1, then match any \fIrequest_code\fR value.
- .AP int minor in
- Match only error events with this value in the \fIminor_code\fR
- field. If -1, then match any \fIminor_code\fR value.
- .AP Tk_ErrorProc *proc in
- Procedure to invoke whenever an error event is received for
- \fIdisplay\fR and matches \fIerror\fR, \fIrequest\fR, and \fIminor\fR.
- NULL means ignore any matching errors.
- .AP ClientData clientData in
- Arbitrary one-word value to pass to \fIproc\fR.
- .AP Tk_ErrorHandler handler in
- Token for error handler to delete (return value from a previous
- call to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR).
- .BE

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR arranges for a particular procedure
- (\fIproc\fR) to be called whenever certain protocol errors occur on a
- particular display (\fIdisplay\fR). Protocol errors occur when
- the X protocol is used incorrectly, such as attempting to map a window
- that doesn't exist. See the Xlib documentation for \fBXSetErrorHandler\fR
- for more information on the kinds of errors that can occur.
- For \fIproc\fR to be invoked
- to handle a particular error, five things must occur:
- .IP [1]
- The error must pertain to \fIdisplay\fR.
- .IP [2]
- Either the \fIerror\fR argument to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR
- must have been -1, or the \fIerror\fR argument must match
- the \fIerror_code\fR field from the error event.
- .IP [3]
- Either the \fIrequest\fR argument to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR
- must have been -1, or the \fIrequest\fR argument must match
- the \fIrequest_code\fR field from the error event.
- .IP [4]
- Either the \fIminor\fR argument to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR
- must have been -1, or the \fIminor\fR argument must match
- the \fIminor_code\fR field from the error event.
- .IP [5]
- The protocol request to which the error pertains must have been
- made when the handler was active (see below for more information).
- .PP
- \fIProc\fP should have arguments and result that match the
- following type:
- .nf
- .RS
- typedef int Tk_ErrorProc(
- .RS
- ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
- XErrorEvent *\fIerrEventPtr\fR);
- .RE
- .RE
- .fi
- The \fIclientData\fP parameter to \fIproc\fR is a copy of the \fIclientData\fP
- argument given to \fBTcl_CreateErrorHandler\fR when the callback
- was created. Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data
- structure containing application-specific information that is
- needed to deal with the error. \fIErrEventPtr\fR is
- a pointer to the X error event.
- The procedure \fIproc\fR should return an integer value. If it
- returns 0 it means that \fIproc\fR handled the error completely and there
- is no need to take any other action for the error. If it returns
- non-zero it means \fIproc\fR was unable to handle the error.
- .PP
- If a value of NULL is specified for \fIproc\fR, all matching errors
- will be ignored: this will produce the same result as if a procedure
- had been specified that always returns 0.
- .PP
- If more than more than one handler matches a particular error, then
- they are invoked in turn. The handlers will be invoked in reverse
- order of creation: most recently declared handler first.
- If any handler returns 0, then subsequent (older) handlers will
- not be invoked. If no handler returns 0, then Tk invokes X'es
- default error handler, which prints an error message and aborts the
- program. If you wish to have a default handler that deals with errors
- that no other handler can deal with, then declare it first.
- .PP
- The X documentation states that ``the error handler should not call
- any functions (directly or indirectly) on the display that will
- generate protocol requests or that will look for input events.''
- This restriction applies to handlers declared by \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR;
- disobey it at your own risk.
- .PP
- \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR may be called to delete a
- previously-created error handler. The \fIhandler\fR argument
- identifies the error handler, and should be a value returned by
- a previous call to \fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR.
- .PP
- A particular error handler applies to errors resulting
- from protocol requests generated between
- the call to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR and the call to
- \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR. However, the actual callback
- to \fIproc\fR may not occur until after the \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR
- call, due to buffering in the client and server.
- If an error event pertains to
- a protocol request made just before calling \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR,
- then the error event may not have been processed
- before the \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR
- call. When this situation arises, Tk will save information about
- the handler and
- invoke the handler's \fIproc\fR later when the error event
- finally arrives.
- If an application wishes to delete an error handler and know
- for certain that all relevant errors have been processed,
- it should first call \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR and then
- call \fBXSync\fR; this will flush out any buffered requests and errors,
- but will result in a performance penalty because
- it requires communication to and from the X server. After the
- \fBXSync\fR call Tk is guaranteed not to call any error
- handlers deleted before the \fBXSync\fR call.
- .PP
- For the Tk error handling mechanism to work properly, it is essential
- that application code never calls \fBXSetErrorHandler\fR directly;
- applications should use only \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR.
