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 . +.SH "SEE ALSO" +\fI\*(xL\fP |
