-Returns the number of events from the motion history buffer.

-.ds Wi the window the event is to be sent to,
-.ZN PointerWindow ,

-.IP \fIw\fP 1i
-Specifies the window \*(Wi.
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.ZN XSendEvent
-function identifies the destination window,
-determines which clients should receive the specified events,
-and ignores any active grabs.
-This function requires you to pass an event mask.
-For a discussion of the valid event mask names,
-see section 10.3.
-This function uses the w argument to identify the destination window as follows:
-.IP \(bu 5
-If w is
-.ZN PointerWindow ,
-the destination window is the window that contains the pointer.
-.IP \(bu 5
-If w is
-.ZN InputFocus
-and if the focus window contains the pointer,
-the destination window is the window that contains the pointer;
-otherwise, the destination window is the focus window.
-.LP
-To determine which clients should receive the specified events,
-.ZN XSendEvent
-uses the propagate argument as follows:
-.IP \(bu 5
-If event_mask is the empty set,
-the event is sent to the client that created the destination window.
-If that client no longer exists,
-no event is sent.
-.IP \(bu 5
-If propagate is
-.ZN False ,
-the event is sent to every client selecting on destination any of the event
-types in the event_mask argument.
-.IP \(bu 5
-If propagate is
-.ZN True
-and no clients have selected on destination any of
-the event types in event-mask, the destination is replaced with the
-closest ancestor of destination for which some client has selected a
-type in event-mask and for which no intervening window has that type in its
-do-not-propagate-mask.
-If no such window exists or if the window is
-an ancestor of the focus window and
-.ZN InputFocus
-was originally specified
-as the destination, the event is not sent to any clients.
-Otherwise, the event is reported to every client selecting on the final
-destination any of the types specified in event_mask.
-.LP
-The event in the
-.ZN XEvent
-structure must be one of the core events or one of the events
-defined by an extension (or a
-.ZN BadValue
-error results) so that the X server can correctly byte-swap
-the contents as necessary.
-The contents of the event are
-otherwise unaltered and unchecked by the X server except to force send_event to
-.ZN True
-in the forwarded event and to set the serial number in the event correctly;
-therefore these fields
-and the display field are ignored by
-.ZN XSendEvent .
-.LP
-.ZN XSendEvent
-returns zero if the conversion to wire protocol format failed
-and returns nonzero otherwise.
-.ZN XSendEvent
-can generate
-.ZN BadValue
-and
-.ZN BadWindow
-errors.
-.LP
-The server may retain the recent history of the pointer motion
-and do so to a finer granularity than is reported by
-.ZN MotionNotify
-events.
-The
-.ZN XGetMotionEvents
-function makes this history available.
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XGetMotionEvents
-function returns all events in the motion history buffer that fall between the
-specified start and stop times, inclusive, and that have coordinates
-that lie within the specified window (including its borders) at its present
-placement.
-If the server does not support motion history,
-if the start time is later than the stop time,
-or if the start time is in the future,
-no events are returned;
-.ZN XGetMotionEvents
-returns NULL.
-If the stop time is in the future, it is equivalent to specifying
-.ZN CurrentTime .
-.ZN XGetMotionEvents
-can generate a
-.ZN BadWindow
-error.
-.SH STRUCTURES
-The
-.ZN XTimeCoord
-structure contains:
-.LP
-.Ds 0
-.TA .5i
-.ta .5i
-typedef struct {
- Time time;
- short x, y;
-} XTimeCoord;
-.De
-.LP
-The time member is set to the time, in milliseconds.
-The x and y members are set to the coordinates of the pointer and
-are reported relative to the origin
-of the specified window.
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-.TP 1i
-.ZN BadValue
-Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
-Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
-by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
-alternatives can generate this error.
-.TP 1i
-.ZN BadWindow
-A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
