XAddHost(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XAddHost(3X11)
nhosts_return
Returns the number of hosts currently in the
access control list.
num_hosts Specifies the number of hosts.
state_return
Returns the state of the access control.
DESCRIPTION
The XAddHost function adds the specified host to the
access control list for that display. The server must be
on the same host as the client issuing the command, or a
BadAccess error results.
XAddHost can generate BadAccess and BadValue errors.
The XAddHosts function adds each specified host to the
access control list for that display. The server must be
on the same host as the client issuing the command, or a
BadAccess error results.
XAddHosts can generate BadAccess and BadValue errors.
The XListHosts function returns the current access control
list as well as whether the use of the list at connection
setup was enabled or disabled. XListHosts allows a pro-
gram to find out what machines can make connections. It
also returns a pointer to a list of host structures that
were allocated by the function. When no longer needed,
this memory should be freed by calling XFree.
The XRemoveHost function removes the specified host from
the access control list for that display. The server must
be on the same host as the client process, or a BadAccess
error results. If you remove your machine from the access
list, you can no longer connect to that server, and this
operation cannot be reversed unless you reset the server.
XRemoveHost can generate BadAccess and BadValue errors.
The XRemoveHosts function removes each specified host from
the access control list for that display. The X server
must be on the same host as the client process, or a
BadAccess error results. If you remove your machine from
the access list, you can no longer connect to that server,
and this operation cannot be reversed unless you reset the
server.
XRemoveHosts can generate BadAccess and BadValue errors.
The XSetAccessControl function either enables or disables
the use of the access control list at each connection
setup.
X Version 11 Release 6.4 2
XAddHost(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XAddHost(3X11)
XSetAccessControl can generate BadAccess and BadValue
errors.
The XEnableAccessControl function enables the use of the
access control list at each connection setup.
XEnableAccessControl can generate a BadAccess error.
The XDisableAccessControl function disables the use of the
access control list at each connection setup.
XDisableAccessControl can generate a BadAccess error.
STRUCTURES
The XHostAddress structure contains:
typedef struct {
int family; /* for example FamilyInternet */
int length; /* length of address, in bytes */
char *address; /* pointer to where to find the address */
} XHostAddress;
The family member specifies which protocol address family
to use (for example, TCP/IP or DECnet) and can be
FamilyInternet, FamilyDECnet, or FamilyChaos. The length
member specifies the length of the address in bytes. The
address member specifies a pointer to the address.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAccess A client attempted to modify the access control
list from other than the local (or otherwise
authorized) host.
BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of
values accepted by the request. Unless a spe-
cific range is specified for an argument, the
full range defined by the argument's type is
accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
alternatives can generate this error.
