XSetTextProperty(3)		XLIB FUNCTIONS		   XSetTextProperty(3)

NAME
       XSetTextProperty, XGetTextProperty - set	and read text properties

SYNTAX
       void   XSetTextProperty(Display	 *display,   Window  w,	 XTextProperty
	      *text_prop, Atom property);

       Status  XGetTextProperty(Display	 *display,  Window  w,	 XTextProperty
	      *text_prop_return, Atom property);

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       property	 Specifies the property	name.

       text_prop Specifies the XTextProperty structure to be used.

       text_prop_return
		 Returns the XTextProperty structure.

DESCRIPTION
       The  XSetTextProperty function replaces the existing specified property
       for the named window with the data, type, format, and number  of	 items
       determined  by  the  value field, the encoding field, the format	field,
       and the nitems field,  respectively,  of	 the  specified	 XTextProperty
       structure.   If	the  property does not already exist, XSetTextProperty
       sets it for the specified window.

       XSetTextProperty	can generate BadAlloc, BadAtom,	BadValue, and  BadWin-
       dow errors.

       The  XGetTextProperty  function	reads  the specified property from the
       window and stores the data in the returned XTextProperty	structure.  It
       stores  the data	in the value field, the	type of	the data in the	encod-
       ing field, the format of	the data in the	format field, and  the	number
       of  items  of  data in the nitems field.	 An extra byte containing null
       (which is not included in the nitems member) is stored at  the  end  of
       the  value field	of text_prop_return.  The particular interpretation of
       the property's encoding and data	as text	is left	to the calling	appli-
       cation.	 If the	specified property does	not exist on the window, XGet-
       TextProperty sets the value field to NULL, the encoding field to	 None,
       the format field	to zero, and the nitems	field to zero.

       If  it  was able	to read	and store the data in the XTextProperty	struc-
       ture, XGetTextProperty returns a	nonzero	status;	otherwise, it  returns
       a zero status.

       XGetTextProperty	can generate BadAtom and BadWindow errors.

PROPERTIES
       WM_CLIENT_MACHINE
		 The  string  name of the machine on which the client applica-
		 tion is running.

       WM_COMMAND
		 The command and arguments, null-separated, used to invoke the
		 application.

       WM_ICON_NAME
		 The name to be	used in	an icon.

       WM_NAME	 The name of the application.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc	 The  server  failed  to  allocate  the	 requested resource or
		 server	memory.

       BadAtom	 A value for an	Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.

       BadValue	 Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
		 by  the request.  Unless a specific range is specified	for an
		 argument, the full range defined by the  argument's  type  is
		 accepted.   Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can
		 generate this error.

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