[comp.windows.x] X Protocol Errors

gregm@otc.otca.oz.au (Greg McFarlane) (11/26/90)

Does the X Protocol guarantee that a client request will
generate at most one error? In all places I can see, it talks
about request errors in the singular, but I cannot see any
explicit statement that an X server must not generate
multiple errors for a single request.

Does anyone know for sure?

A single client protocol request will generate at most one server
error, but note that some Xlib functions generate more than one
request, and thus may cause more than one protocol error.
