The README contains more details. Ken #! /bin/sh # This is a shell archive, meaning: # 1. Remove everything above the #! /bin/sh line. # 2. Save the resulting text in a file. # 3.

Too many times I found myself scrounging around in section 8 of the Xlib manual looking for the valid fields for the events I wanted to see, then adding printf's to display the numeric values of the fields, and then scanning through X.h trying to decode the cryptic detail and state fields. After playing with xev, I decided to write a couple of standard functions that I could keep in a library and call on whenever I needed a little debugging verbosity. The first function, GetType(), is useful for returning the string representation of the type of an event. The second function, ShowEvent(), is used to display all the fields of an event in a readable format. The functions are not complicated, in fact, they are mind-numbingly boring - but that's just the point nobody wants to spend the time writing functions like this, they just want to have them when they need them. A simple, sample program is included which does little else but to demonstrate the use of these two functions. These functions have saved me many an hour during debugging and I hope you find some benefit to these. If you have any comments, suggestions, improvements, or if you find any blithering errors you can get it touch with me at the following location: ken@richsun.UUCP SHAR_EOF fi # end of overwriting check if test -f 'ShowEvent.c' then echo shar: will not over-write existing file "'ShowEvent.c'" else cat << \SHAR_EOF > 'ShowEvent.c' #include #include Boolean use_separate_lines = True; static char *sep; /******************************************************************************/ /**** Miscellaneous routines to convert values to their string equivalents ****/ /******************************************************************************/ /* Returns the string equivalent of a boolean parameter */ static char *TorF(bool) int bool; { switch (bool) { case True: return ("True"); case False: return ("False"); default: return ("?"); } } /* Returns the string equivalent of a property notify state */ static char *PropertyState(state) int state; { switch (state) { case PropertyNewValue: return ("PropertyNewValue"); case PropertyDelete: return ("PropertyDelete"); default: return ("?"); } } /* Returns the string equivalent of a visibility notify state */ static char *VisibilityState(state) int state; { switch (state) { case VisibilityUnobscured: return ("VisibilityUnobscured"); case VisibilityPartiallyObscured: return ("VisibilityPartiallyObscured"); case VisibilityFullyObscured: return ("VisibilityFullyObscured"); default: return ("?"); } } /* Returns the string equivalent of a timestamp */ static char *ServerTime(time) Time time; { unsigned long msec; unsigned long sec; unsigned long min; unsigned long hr; unsigned long day; char buffer[32]; msec = time % 1000; time /= 1000; sec = time % 60; time /= 60; min = time % 60; time /= 60; hr = time % 24; time /= 24; day = time; sprintf(buffer, "%d day%s %02d:%02d:%02d.%03d", day, day == 1 ?
