+Chapter 8 \(em Callbacks
+.XE
+.IN "Destroy Callbacks"
+Applications and other widgets often need to register a procedure
+with a widget that gets called under certain prespecified conditions.
+For example,
+when a widget is destroyed,
+every procedure on the widget's \fIdestroy_callbacks\fP
+list is called to notify clients of the widget's impending doom.
+.LP
+Every widget has an XtNdestroyCallbacks callback list resource.
+Widgets can define additional callback lists as they see fit.
+For example, the Pushbutton widget has a callback
+list to notify clients when the button has been activated.
+.LP
+Except where otherwise noted, it is the intent that all Intrinsics
+functions may be called at any time, including from within callback
+procedures, action routines, and event handlers.

+For example, when Scrollbar executes its XtNthumbChanged callback list,
+it passes the new position of the thumb.
+.LP

+The \fIclient_data\fP argument provides a way for the
+client registering the callback procedure also to register client-specific data,
+for example, a pointer to additional information about the widget,
+a reason for invoking the callback, and so on.
+The \fIclient_data\fP value may be NULL
+if all necessary information is in the widget.
+The \fIcall_data\fP argument is a convenience to avoid having simple
+cases where the client could otherwise always call
+.PN XtGetValues
+or a widget-specific function to retrieve data from the widget.
+Widgets should generally avoid putting complex state information
+in \fIcall_data\fP.
+The client can use the more general data retrieval methods, if necessary.
+.LP
+Whenever a client wants to pass a callback list as an argument in an
+.PN XtCreateWidget ,
+.PN XtSetValues ,

+Although callback lists are passed by address in arglists

+Identifying Callback Lists
+.XS
+\fB\*(SN Identifying Callback Lists\fP
+.XE
+.LP
+Whenever a widget contains a callback list for use by clients,
+it also exports in its public .h file the resource name of the callback list.
+Applications and client widgets never access callback list fields directly.
+Instead, they always identify the desired callback list by using the exported
+resource name.
+All the callback manipulation functions described in this chapter
+except
+.PN XtCallCallbackList
+check
+to see that the requested callback list is indeed implemented by the widget.
+.LP
+For the \*(xI to find and correctly handle callback lists,
+they must be declared with a resource type of
+.PN XtRCallback .
+The internal representation of a callback list is
+implementation-dependent; widgets may make no assumptions about the
+value stored in this resource if it is non-NULL. Except to compare
+the value to NULL (which is equivalent to
+.PN XtCallbackStatus
+.PN XtCallbackHasNone ),
+access to callback list resources must be made
+through other \*(xI procedures.
