XSetTextProperty(3X11)	XLIB FUNCTIONS	 XSetTextProperty(3X11)

NAME
       XSetTextProperty, XGetTextProperty - set and read text
       properties

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

       Status XGetTextProperty(display, w, text_prop_return,
       property)
	      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 speci-
       fied 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 struc-
       ture.  If the property does not already exist, XSet-
       TextProperty sets it for the specified window.

       XSetTextProperty can generate BadAlloc, BadAtom, BadValue,
       and BadWindow 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 encoding field, the
       format of the data in the format field, and the number of
       items of data in the nitems field.  An extra byte contain-
       ing 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 application.  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 structure, 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 application is running.

       WM_COMMAND
		 The command and arguments, null-separated, used

       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 spe-
		 cific 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.
