XIQueryPointer - get device pointer coordinates.

Description

           The XIQueryPointer function returns the root window the
           device's pointer is logically on and the pointer coordinates
           relative to the root window's origin. If XIQueryPointer returns
           False, the pointer is not on the same screen as the specified
           window, and XIQueryPointer returns None to child_return and
           zero to win_x_return and win_y_return. If XIQueryPointer
           returns True, the pointer coordinates returned to win_x_return
           and win_y_return are relative to the origin of the specified
           window. In this case, XIQueryPointer returns the child that
           contains the pointer, if any, or else None to child_return.

           XIQueryPointer returns the current logical state of the buttons
           buttons_return. The keyboard paired with the master pointer is
           selected to obtain the data for modifiers_return and
           group_return.

           The mask field in buttons_return is dynamically allocated and
           must be freed by the caller.

           XIQueryPointer is identical to XQueryPointer but specifies the
           device explicitly.

           XIQueryPointer can generate a BadDevice and a BadWindow error.

Diagnostics

           BadDevice
                  An invalid device was specified. The device does not
                  exist or is not a pointer device.

           BadWindow
                  A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
                  window.
