-XInitThreads, XLockDisplay, XUnlockDisplay \- multi-threading support
-.SH SYNTAX
-.HP
-Status XInitThreads\^(void);
-.HP
-void XLockDisplay\^(\^Display *\fIdisplay\fP\^);
-.HP
-void XUnlockDisplay\^(\^Display *\fIdisplay\fP\^);
-.SH ARGUMENTS
-.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
-Specifies the connection to the X server.
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.ZN XInitThreads
-function initializes Xlib support for concurrent threads.
-This function must be the first Xlib function a
-multi-threaded program calls, and it must complete
-before any other Xlib call is made.
-This function returns a nonzero status if initialization was
-successful; otherwise, it returns zero.
-On systems that do not support threads, this function always returns zero.
-.LP
-It is only necessary to call this function if multiple threads
-might use Xlib concurrently. If all calls to Xlib functions
-are protected by some other access mechanism (for example,
-a mutual exclusion lock in a toolkit or through explicit client
-programming), Xlib thread initialization is not required.
-It is recommended that single-threaded programs not call this function.
-
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XLockDisplay
-function locks out all other threads from using the specified display.
-Other threads attempting to use the display will block until
-the display is unlocked by this thread.
-Nested calls to
-.ZN XLockDisplay
-work correctly; the display will not actually be unlocked until
-.ZN XUnlockDisplay
-has been called the same number of times as
-.ZN XLockDisplay .
-This function has no effect unless Xlib was successfully initialized
-for threads using
-.ZN XInitThreads .
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XUnlockDisplay
-function allows other threads to use the specified display again.
-Any threads that have blocked on the display are allowed to continue.
-Nested locking works correctly; if
-.ZN XLockDisplay
-has been called multiple times by a thread, then
-.ZN XUnlockDisplay
-must be called an equal number of times before the display is
-actually unlocked.
-This function has no effect unless Xlib was successfully initialized
-for threads using
-.ZN XInitThreads .
