     host access

SYNTAX
     XAddHost(display, host)
           Display *display;
           XHostAddress *host;

     XAddHosts(display, hosts, num_hosts)
           Display *display;
           XHostAddress *hosts;
           int num_hosts;

     XHostAddress *XListHosts(display, nhosts_return, state_return)
           Display *display;
           int *nhosts_return;
           Bool *state_return;

     XRemoveHost(display, host)
           Display *display;
           XHostAddress *host;

     XRemoveHosts(display, hosts, num_hosts)
           Display *display;

     XSetAccessControl(display, mode)
           Display *display;
           int mode;

     XEnableAccessControl(display)
           Display *display;

     XDisableAccessControl(display)
           Display *display;

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     host      Specifies the host that is to be added or removed.

     hosts     Specifies each host that is to be added or removed.

     mode      Specifies the mode.  You can pass EnableAccess or
               DisableAccess.

     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 program 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.

     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.

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 specific 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.
