.SH DESCRIPTION
The display server shall return the pointer's
current location and button status.
.PP
The value of the
.I opcode
field shall be
.I LIBAXL_REQUEST_QUERY_POINTER
to signify that the request is of the
request described in this document.
.PP
Other fields are filled in automatically by the
.BR libaxl_send_request (3)
function.
.SH ERRORS
.TP
.BR LIBAXL_ERROR_WINDOW (3)
The specified window ID does not exist.

.PP
The display server shall, unless it returns an
error, return one
.B "struct libaxl_reply_query_pointer"
with the
.I root_x
and
.I root_y
fields set to the pointer's position within
the root window, on the screen the pointer is
in, and the
.I root
field shall be set to the ID of that root window,
and the
.I mask
field shall be set so that the bits in it shall
be set for and only for the buttons and modifiers
that are pressed down or locked on.
\" TODO what each key button mask bit represent
Additionally, the
.I same_screen
field will be set to either
.I LIBAXL_TRUE
or
.IR LIBAXL_FALSE .
If
.I same_screen
is set to
.IR LIBAXL_TRUE ,
the pointer is in the same screen as the window,
and the
.IR win_x
and
.IR win_y
fields will be set to the pointer's position
relative to the top-left corner of the
.I window
specified in the query, and the
.I child
field will be set to the ID of the window containing
the pointer, or to
.I LIBAXL_NONE
if the pointer is only contained inside the root
window. If
.I same_screen
is set to
.IR LIBAXL_FALSE ,
the pointer is not in the same screen as the
.I window
specified in the query, and the
.I win_x ,
.I win_y ,
and
.I child
fields will be set to
.IR 0 ,
.IR 0 ,
and
.IR LIBAXL_NONE .
