       display
              Specifies the connection to the X server.

       device
              Specifies the device that is to be grabbed or released

       button
              Specifies the device button that is to be grabbed or
              released or XIAnyButton.

       keycode
              Specifies the keycode that is to be grabbed or released
              or XIAnyKeycode.

       num_modifiers
              Number of elements in modifiers or modifiers_return

       modifiers
              Specifies the set of latched and base modifiers or
              XIAnyModifier to ungrab. The data type is for
              consistency with the respective grab request and the
              status code of the XIGrabModifiers struct is ignored.

       modifiers_inout
              Specifies the set of latched and base modifiers or
              XIAnyModifier to grab. Returns the modifiers that could
              not be grabbed and their status code.

       grab_window
              Specifies the grab window.

       owner_events
              Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the are
              to be reported as usual or reported with respect to the
              grab window.

       mask
              Specifies the event mask.

       grab_mode
              Specifies further processing of events from this device.
              You can pass GrabModeSync or GrabModeAsync.

       paired_device_mode
              Specifies further processing of events from the paired
              master device. You can pass GrabModeSync or
              GrabModeAsync. If deviceid specifies a floating slave
              device, this parameter is ignored.

DESCRIPTION

           XIGrabButton and XIGrabKeycode establishes a passive grab. The
           modifier device for a button grab is the paired master device
           if deviceid specifies a master pointer. Otherwise, the modifier
           device is the device specified with deviceid. In the future,
           the device is actively grabbed (as for XIGrabDevice, the
           last-grab time is set to the time at which the button or keycode
           was pressed and the X_XIButtonPress or X_XIKeyPress event is
           reported if all of the following conditions are true:
             * The device is not grabbed, and the specified button or
               keycode is logically pressed when the specified modifier
               keys are logically down on the modifier device and no other
               buttons or modifier keys are logically down.
             * Either the grab window is an ancestor of (or is) the focus
               window, OR the grab window is a descendent of the focus
               window and contains the device.
             * A passive grab on the same button/modifier combination does
               not exist on any ancestor of grab_window.

           The interpretation of the remaining arguments is as for
           XIGrabDevice. The active grab is terminated automatically when
           the logical state of the device has all buttons or keys
           released (independent of the logical state of the modifier
           keys).

           If the device is an attached slave device, the device is
           automatically detached from the master device when the grab
           activates and reattached to the same master device when the
           grab deactivates. If the master device is removed while the
           device is floating as a result of a grab, the device remains
           floating once the grab deactivates.

           Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by client
           applications) may lag the physical state if device event
           processing is frozen.

           This request overrides all previous grabs by the same client on
           the same button/modifier or keycode/modifier combinations on the
           same window. A modifiers of XIAnyModifier is equivalent to
           issuing the grab request for all possible modifier combinations
           (including the combination of no modifiers). It is not required
           that all modifiers specified have currently assigned KeyCodes.
           A button of XIAnyButton is equivalent to issuing the request
           for all possible buttons. Otherwise, it is not required that
           the specified button currently be assigned to a physical
           button.

           If some other client has already issued a XIGrabButton or
           XIGrabKeycode with the same button/modifier or keycode/modifier
           combination on the same window, a BadAccess error results. When
           using XIAnyModifier or XIAnyButton , the request fails
           completely, and a XIBadAccess error results (no grabs are
           established) if there is a conflicting grab for any
           combination. XIGrabButton and XIGrabKeycode have no effect on an
           active grab.

           XIGrabButton and XIGrabKeycode can generate BadClass, BadDevice,
           BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.

           XIUngrabButton and XIUngrabKeycode releases the passive grab for
           a button/modifier or keycode/modifier combination on the
           specified window if it was grabbed by this client. A modifier
           of XIAnyModifier is equivalent to issuing the ungrab request
           for all possible modifier combinations, including the
           combination of no modifiers. A button of XIAnyButton is
           equivalent to issuing the request for all possible buttons.
           XIUngrabButton and XIUngrabKeycode have no effect on an active
           grab.

           XIUngrabButton and XIUngrabKeycode can generate BadDevice,
           BadMatch, BadValue and BadWindow errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

           BadDevice
                  An invalid deviceid was specified.

           BadMatch
                  This error may occur if XIGrabButton specified a device
                  that has no buttons, or XIGrabKeycode specified a device
                  that has no keys.

           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
                  argumentĀ“s type is accepted. Any argument defined as a
                  set of alternatives can generate this error.

           BadWindow
                  A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
                  Window.
