       datatype

                 XEVIE_MODIFIED or XEVIE_UNMODIFIED - whether the Xevie client
                 has changed or synthesised this event.

DESCRIPTION
       X Event Interception Extension (XEvIE) is designed for users who need
       to intercept all the Keyboard and Mouse events.  Programs can determine
       which events should be forwarded to other clients and modify the events
       if necessary.

FUNCTIONS
       XevieQueryVersion The XevieQueryVersion function returns the major and
       minor protocol version numbers supported by the server.
       XevieQueryVersion returns True if success, otherwise, it returns False.

       XevieStart The XevieStart function requests that the X server enable
       the XEvIE extension.  Once XEvIE is successfully enabled, all the
       XevieSelectInput specified events will be sent to the client which has
       enabled XEvIE.  If XKB or AccessX is enabled, the events that are sent
       to the XEvIE clients are XKB/AccessX processed (filtered) ones.

       XevieSendEvent Events are sent back to the X server through
       XevieSendEvent.

       XevieEnd The XevieEnd function requests that the X server disables the
       XEvIE extension.  Once XEvIE is disabled successfully, the X server
       stops sending events to the XEvIE client.

       XevieSelectInput The XevieSelectInput function requests that the X
       server reports the keyboard and pointer events associated with the
       specified event mask.  By default, X will report KeyPress, KeyRelease,
       ButtonPress, ButtonRelease and MotionNotify events.

RESTRICTIONS
       Xevie will remain upward compatible after the current 1.0 release.
