+.SH NAME
+XIfEvent, XCheckIfEvent, XPeekIfEvent \- check the event queue with a predicate procedure
+.SH SYNTAX
+.HP
+int XIfEvent\^(\^Display *\fIdisplay\fP\^, XEvent *\fIevent_return\fP\^, Bool
+(\^*\fIpredicate\fP\^)\^(\^)\^, XPointer \fIarg\fP\^);

+Bool XCheckIfEvent\^(\^Display *\fIdisplay\fP\^, XEvent *\fIevent_return\fP\^,

+int XPeekIfEvent\^(\^Display *\fIdisplay\fP\^, XEvent *\fIevent_return\fP\^,
+Bool (\^*\fIpredicate\fP\^)\^(\^)\^, XPointer \fIarg\fP\^);
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.IP \fIarg\fP 1i
+Specifies the user-supplied argument that will be passed to the predicate procedure.
+.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
+Specifies the connection to the X server.
+.ds Ev \ either a copy of or
+.IP \fIevent_return\fP 1i
+Returns\*(Ev the matched event's associated structure.
+.IP \fIpredicate\fP 1i
+Specifies the procedure that is to be called to determine
+if the next event in the queue matches what you want.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XIfEvent
+function completes only when the specified predicate
+procedure returns
+.ZN True
+for an event,
+which indicates an event in the queue matches.
+.ZN XIfEvent
+flushes the output buffer if it blocks waiting for additional events.
+.ZN XIfEvent
+removes the matching event from the queue
+and copies the structure into the client-supplied
+.ZN XEvent
+structure.
+.LP
+When the predicate procedure finds a match,
+.ZN XCheckIfEvent
+copies the matched event into the client-supplied
+.ZN XEvent
+structure and returns
+.ZN True .
+(This event is removed from the queue.)
+If the predicate procedure finds no match,
+.ZN XCheckIfEvent
+returns
+.ZN False ,
+and the output buffer will have been flushed.
+All earlier events stored in the queue are not discarded.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XPeekIfEvent
+function returns only when the specified predicate
+procedure returns
+.ZN True
+for an event.
+After the predicate procedure finds a match,
+.ZN XPeekIfEvent
+copies the matched event into the client-supplied
+.ZN XEvent
+structure without removing the event from the queue.
+.ZN XPeekIfEvent
+flushes the output buffer if it blocks waiting for additional events.
+.LP
+Each of these functions requires you to pass a predicate procedure that
+determines if an event matches what you want.
+Your predicate procedure must decide if the event is useful
+without calling any Xlib functions.
+If the predicate directly or indirectly causes the state of the event queue
+to change, the result is not defined.
+If Xlib has been initialized for threads, the predicate is called with
+the display locked and the result of a call by the predicate to any
+Xlib function that locks the display is not defined unless the caller
+has first called
+.ZN XLockDisplay .
+.LP
+The predicate procedure and its associated arguments are:
+.HP
+Bool (\^*\fIpredicate\fP\^)\^(\^Display *\fIdisplay\fP, XEvent *\fIevent\fP, XPointer \fIarg\fP\^)
+.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
+Specifies the connection to the X server.
+.IP \fIevent\fP 1i
+Specifies the
+.ZN XEvent
+structure.
+.IP \fIarg\fP 1i
+Specifies the argument passed in from the
+.ZN XIfEvent ,
+.ZN XCheckIfEvent ,
+or
+.ZN XPeekIfEvent
+function.
+.LP
+The predicate procedure is called once for each
+event in the queue until it finds a match.
+After finding a match, the predicate procedure must return
+.ZN True .
+If it did not find a match, it must return
+.ZN False .
