|  |  * dynamic window manager is designed like any other X client as well. It is | ||||||
|  |  * driven through handling X events. In contrast to other X clients, a window | ||||||
|  |  * manager like dwm selects for SubstructureRedirectMask on the root window, to | ||||||
|  |  * receive events about child window appearance and disappearance.  Only one X | ||||||
|  |  * connection at a time is allowed to select for this event mask by any X | ||||||
|  |  * server, thus only one window manager instance can be executed at a time. | ||||||
|  |  * Any attempt to select for SubstructureRedirectMask by any connection after | ||||||
|  |  * another connection already selected for those events, will result in an | ||||||
|  |  * error generated by the server. Such errors are reported through calling the | ||||||
|  |  * current X error handler. | ||||||
|  |  * | ||||||
|  |  * Calls to pop an X event from the event queue of the X connection are | ||||||
|  |  * blocking.  Due the fact, that dwm reads status text from standard input, a | ||||||
|  |  * select-driven main loop has been implemented which selects for reads on the | ||||||
|  |  * X connection and STDIN_FILENO to handle all data smoothly and without | ||||||
|  |  * busy-loop quirks..  The event handlers of dwm are organized in an array | ||||||
|  |  * which is accessed whenever a new event has been popped. This allows event | ||||||
|  |  * dispatching in O(1) time. | ||||||
|  |  * | ||||||
|  |  * Each child window of the root window is called a client in window manager | ||||||
|  |  * terminology, except windows which have set the override_redirect flag. | ||||||
|  |  * Clients are organized in a global doubly-linked client list, the focus | ||||||
|  |  * history is remembered through a global stack list. Each client contains an | ||||||
|  |  * array of Bools of the same size as the global tags array to indicate the | ||||||
|  |  * tags of a client. There are no other data structures to organize the clients | ||||||
|  |  * in tag lists, because a single global list is most simple. All clients which | ||||||
|  |  * have at least one tag enabled of the current tags viewed, will be visible on | ||||||
|  |  * the screen, all other clients are banned to the x-location 2 * screen width. | ||||||
|  |  * This avoids having additional layers of workspace handling. | ||||||
|  |  * | ||||||
|  |  * For each client dwm creates a small title window which is resized whenever | ||||||
|  |  * the WM_NAME or _NET_WM_NAME properties are updated. | ||||||
|  |  * | ||||||
|  |  * Keys and tagging rules are organized as arrays as well and defined in the | ||||||
|  |  * config.h file. These arrays are kept static in event.o and tag.o | ||||||
|  |  * respectively, because no other part of dwm needs access to them. | ||||||
|  |  * | ||||||
|  |  * The current mode is represented by the arrange function pointer which wether | ||||||
|  |  * points to dofloat or dotile.  | ||||||
