+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.ds Co that identifies the application
+.IP \fIapp_context\fP 1i
+Specifies the application context \*(Co.
+.IP \fIevent\fP 1i
+Specifies a pointer to the event structure that is to be dispatched
+to the appropriate event handler.
+.IP \fIevent_return\fP 1i
+Returns the event information to the specified event structure.
+.IP \fImask\fP 1i
+Specifies what types of events to process.
+The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of any combination of
+.ZN XtIMXEvent ,
+.ZN XtIMTimer ,
+.ZN XtIMAlternateInput ,
+and
+.ZN XtIMSignal .
+As a convenience, the \*(tk defines the symbolic name
+.ZN XtIMAll
+to be the bitwise inclusive OR of all event types.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+If the X event queue is empty,
+.ZN XtAppNextEvent
+flushes the X output buffers of each Display in the application context
+and waits for an event while looking at the other input sources, timeout
+timeout values, and signal handlers and calling any callback procedures
+triggered by them. This wait time can be used for background processing
+(see Section 7.8).
+.LP
+If there is an event in the queue,
+.ZN XtAppPeekEvent
+fills in the event and returns a nonzero value. If no X input is on the
+queue,
+.ZN XtAppPeekEvent
+flushes the output buffer and blocks until input is available
+(possibly calling some timeout callbacks in the process).
+If the input is an event,
+.ZN XtAppPeekEvent
+fills in the event and returns a nonzero value.
+Otherwise, the input is for an alternate input source, and
+.ZN XtAppPeekEvent
+returns zero.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XtAppPending
+function returns a nonzero value if there are events pending from the
+X server, timer pending, or other input sources pending. The value
+returned is a bit mask that is the OR of
+.ZN XtIMXEvent ,
+.ZN XtIMTimer ,
+.ZN XtIMAlternateInput ,
+and
+.ZN XtIMSignal
+(see
+.ZN XtAppProcessEvent ).
+If there are no events pending,
+.ZN XtAppPending
+flushes the output buffer and returns zero.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XtAppProcessEvent
+function processes one timer, alternate input, signal source, or X
+event. If there is nothing of the appropriate type to process,
+.ZN XtAppProcessEvent
+blocks until there is.
+If there is more than one type of thing available to process,
+it is undefined which will get processed.
+Usually, this procedure is not called by client applications (see
+.ZN XtAppMainLoop ).
+.ZN XtAppProcessEvent
+processes timer events by calling any appropriate timer callbacks,
+alternate input by calling any appropriate alternate input callbacks,
+signal source by calling any appropriate signal callbacks, and X events
+by calling
+.ZN XtDispatchEvent .
+.LP
+When an X event is received, it is passed to
+.ZN XtDispatchEvent ,
+which calls the appropriate event handlers
+and passes them the widget, the event, and client-specific data
+registered with each procedure.
+If there are no handlers for that event registered,
+the event is ignored and the dispatcher simply returns.
+The order in which the handlers are called is undefined.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XtDispatchEvent
+function sends those events to the event handler functions that
+have been previously registered with the dispatch routine.
+.ZN XtDispatchEvent
+returns
+.ZN True
+if it dispatched the event to some handler and
+.ZN False
+if it found no handler to dispatch the event to.
+The most common use of
+.ZN XtDispatchEvent
+is to dispatch events acquired with the
+.ZN XtAppNextEvent
+procedure.
+However, it also can be used to dispatch user-constructed events.
+.ZN XtDispatchEvent
+also is responsible for implementing the grab semantics for
+.ZN XtAddGrab .
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XtAppMainLoop
+function first reads the next incoming X event by calling
+.ZN XtAppNextEvent
+and then it dispatches the event to the appropriate registered procedure
+by calling
+.ZN XtDispatchEvent .
+This constitutes the main loop of \*(tk applications,
+and, as such, it does not return unless
+.ZN XtAppSetExitFlag
+is called.
+Applications are expected to exit in response to some user action.
+There is nothing special about
+.ZN XtAppMainLoop ;
+it is simply an loop that calls
+.ZN XtAppNextEvent
+and then
+.ZN XtDispatchEvent ,
+until
+.ZN XtAppGetExitFlag ()
+returns true.
+.LP
+Applications can provide their own version of this loop,
+which tests some global termination flag or tests that the number
+of top-level widgets is larger than zero before circling back to the call to
+.ZN XtAppNextEvent .
