I don't want to hijack this thread, so I'll just post a link to a pretty decent on-line overview of awk. If you still have questions, create a thread in shell programming and someone will be eager to expand further.

LEARN ABOUT HPUX
xgetatomnames
XGetAtomNames(3X) XLIB FUNCTIONS XGetAtomNames(3X)
NAME
XGetAtomNames - returns the names associated with the specified atoms
SYNTAX
Status XGetAtomNames(display, atoms, count, names_return)
Display *display;
Atom *atoms;
int count;
char **names_return;
ARGUMENTS
atoms
display Specifies the connection to the X server. Specifies the array of atoms.
count Specifies the number of atom names in the array.
names_return
Returns the atom names.
DESCRIPTION
The XGetAtomNames function returns the names associated with the specified atoms. The names are stored in the names_return array supplied
by the caller. Calling this function is equivalent to calling XGetAtomName for each of the atoms in turn, but this function minimizes the
number of round trip protocol exchanges between the client and the X server.
This function returns a nonzero status if names are returned for all of the atoms; otherwise, it returns zero.
XGetAtomNames can generate a BadAtom error.
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 argu-
ment, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
error.
