This extension is a minimal set of client and server extensions required to completely test the X11 server with no user intervention. This extension is not intended to support general journaling and playback of user actions. This is a difficult area [XTrap, 89] as it attempts to synchronize synthetic user interactions with their effects; it is at the higher level of dialogue recording/playback rather than at the strictly lexical level. We are interested only in the latter, simpler, case. A more detailed discussion and justification of the extension functionality is given in [Drake, 91]. We are aiming only to provide a minimum set of facilities that solve immediate testing and validation problems. The testing extension itself needs testing, where possible, and so should be as simple as possible. We have also tried to: Confine the extension to an appropriate high level within the server to minimize portability problems. In practice this means that the extension should be at the DIX level or use the DIX/DDX interface, or both. This has effects, in particular, on the level at which "input synthesis" can occur. Minimize the changes required in the rest of the server. Minimize performance penalties on normal server operation. The functions provided by this extension fall into two groups: Client Operations These routines manipulate otherwise hidden client-side behavior. The actual implementation will depend on the details of the actual language binding and what degree of request buffering, GContext caching, and so on, is provided. In the C binding, defined in section 7, routines are provided to access the internals of two opaque data structures - GCs and Visuals - and to discard any requests pending within the output buffer of a connection. The exact details can be expected to differ for other language bindings. Server Requests The first of these requests is similar to that provided in most extensions: it allows a client to specify a major and minor version number to the server and for the server to respond with major and minor versions of its own. The remaining two requests allow the following: Access to an otherwise "write-only" server resource: the cursor associated with a given window Perhaps most importantly, limited synthesis of input device events, almost as if a cooperative user had moved the pointing device or pressed a key or button. The C functions either provide direct access to the protocol and add no additional semantics to those defined in section 5 or they correspond directly to the abstract descriptions of client operations in section 4. All XTEST extension functions and procedures, and all manifest constants and macros, will start with the string "XTest". All operations are classified as server/client (Server) or client-only (Client). All routines that have return type Status will return nonzero for "success" and zero for "failure." Even if the XTEST extension is supported, the server may withdraw such facilities arbitrarily; in which case they will subsequently return zero. The include file for this extension is <X11/extensions/XTest.h>. Bool XTestQueryExtension Display *display int *event_base int *error_base int *major_version int *minor_version XTestQueryExtension returns True if the specified display supports the XTEST extension, else False If the extension is supported, *event_base would be set to the event number for the first event for this extension and *error_base would be set to the error number for the first error for this extension. As no errors or events are defined for this version of the extension, the values returned here are not defined (nor useful). If the extension is supported, *major_version and *minor_version are set to the major and minor version numbers of the extension supported by the display. Otherwise, none of the arguments are set. Bool XTestCompareCursorWithWindow Display *display Window *window Cursor cursor If the extension is supported, XTestCompareCursorWithWindow performs a comparison of the cursor whose ID is specified by cursor (which may be None with the cursor of the window specified by window returning True if they are the same and False otherwise. If the extension is not supported, then the request is ignored and zero is returned. BoolXTestCompareCurrentCursorWithWindow Display *display Window window If the extension is supported, XTestCompareCurrentCursorWithWindow performs a comparison of the current cursor with the cursor of the specified window returning True if they are the same and False otherwise. If the extension is not supported, then the request is ignored and zero is returned. XTestFakeKeyEvent Display *display unsigned int keycode Bool is_press unsigned long delay If the extension is supported, XTestFakeKeyEvent requests the server to simulate either a KeyPress (if is_press is True or a KeyRelease (if is_press is False of the key with the specified keycode; otherwise, the request is ignored. If the extension is supported, the simulated event will not be processed until delay milliseconds after the request is received (if delay is CurrentTime then this is interpreted as no delay at all). No other requests from this client will be processed until this delay, if any, has expired and subsequent processing of the simulated event has been completed. XTestFakeButtonEvent Display *display unsigned int button Bool is_press unsigned long delay If the extension is supported, XTestFakeButtonEvent requests the server to simulate either a ButtonPress (if is_press is True or a ButtonRelease (if is_press is False of the logical button numbered by the specified button; otherwise, the request is ignored. If the extension is supported, the simulated event will not be processed until delay milliseconds after the request is received (if delay is CurrentTime then this is interpreted as no delay at all). No other requests from this client will be processed until this delay, if any, has expired and subsequent processing of the simulated event has been completed. XTestFakeMotionEvent Display *display int screen_number int x int y unsigned long delay If the extension is supported, XTestFakeMotionEvent requests the server to simulate a movement of the pointer to the specified position (x, y) on the root window of screen_number; otherwise, the request is ignored. If screen_number is -1, the current screen (that the pointer is on) is used. If the extension is supported, the simulated event will not be processed until delay milliseconds after the request is received (if delay is CurrentTime then this is interpreted as no delay at all). No other requests from this client will be processed until this delay, if any, has expired and subsequent processing of the simulated event has been completed. XTestFakeRelativeMotionEvent Display *display int screen_number int x int y unsigned long delay If the extension is supported, XTestFakeRelativeMotionEvent requests the server to simulate a movement of the pointer by the specified offsets (x, y) relative to the current pointer position on screen_number; otherwise, the request is ignored. If screen_number is -1, the current screen (that the pointer is on) is used. If the extension is supported, the simulated event will not be processed until delay milliseconds after the request is received (if delay is CurrentTime then this is interpreted as no delay at all). No other requests from this client will be processed until this delay, if any, has expired and subsequent processing of the simulated event has been completed. XTestGrabControl Display *display Bool impervious If impervious is True then the executing client becomes impervious to server grabs. If impervious is False then the executing client returns to the normal state of being susceptible to server grabs. Bool XTestSetGContextOfGC GC gc GContext gid XTestSetGContextOfGC sets the GContext within the opaque datatype referenced by gc to be that specified by gid. XTestSetVisualIDOfVisual Visual *visual VisualID visualid XTestSetVisualIDOfVisual sets the VisualID within the opaque datatype referenced by visual to be that specified by visualid. Bool XTestDiscard Display *display XTestDiscard discards any requests within the output buffer for the specified display. It returns True if any requests were discarded; otherwise, it returns False Annicchiarico, D., et al., XTrap: The XTrap Architecture. Digital Equipment Corporation, July 1991. Drake, K.
