It is not otherwise documented. In trying to use it, I found out that using a window identifier as the first argument to wrastop() can lead to a dropped core or worse. I determined, by experimentation, that the first argument to wrastop() should be a FILE DESCRIPTOR, and NOT the WINDOW IDENTIFIER the manual page would lead you to expect. Adam Reed ihnp4!npois!adam
