.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp

XIChangeHierarchy modifies the device hierarchy by creating or
removing master devices or changing the attachment of slave
devices\&. If num_changes is non\-zero, changes is an array of
XIAnyHierarchyChangeInfo structures\&.
.fi

XIChangeHierarchy processes changes in order, effective
immediately\&. If an error occurs, processing is aborted and the
error is reported to the client\&. Changes already made remain
effective\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE

.if n \{\

The list of changes is any combination of
XIAnyHierarchyChangeInfo\&. The type of a hierarchy change can be
XIAddMaster, XIRemoveMaster, XIAttachSlave or XIDetachSlave\&.

XIAddMasterInfo creates a new master pointer and a new
master keyboard labelled "name pointer" and "name keyboard"
respectively\&. If sendCore is True, the devices will send core
events\&. If enable is True, the device is enabled immediately\&.

XIRemoveMasterInfo removes device and its paired master device\&.
If returnMode is XIAttachToMaster, all pointers attached to
device or its paired master device are attached to
returnPointer\&. Likewise, all keyboards are attached to
returnKeyboard\&. If returnMode is XIFloating, all attached
devices are set to floating\&.

XIAttachSlaveInfo attaches device to newMaster\&. If the device
is currently attached to a master device, it is detached from
the master device and attached to the new master device\&.
