     DescriptionXevie X Event Interception Extension (XEvIE) is designed for
    users  who need to intercept all the Keyboard and Mouse events.  The requirement
    for XEvIE is directly from GNOME Accessibility project.  AT Accessibility
    API needs to have full keyboard/mouse control.  XEvIE provides a set of
    API to allow AT Accessibility API to get  and consume Keyboard/Mouse events.

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