* dynamic window manager is designed like any other X client as well. It is

* Calls to fetch an X event from the event queue of the X connection are
|

* blocking. Due the fact, that dwm reads status text from standard input, a
|
||||
* select-driven main loop has been implemented which selects for reads on the
|
||||
* X connection and STDIN_FILENO to handle all data smoothly and without
|
||||
* busy-loop quirks. The event handlers of dwm are organized in an array which
|
||||
* is accessed whenever a new event has been fetched. This allows event
|

* dispatching in O(1) time.
