XGetIconName()															    XGetIconName()

Name
  XGetIconName - get the name to be displayed in an icon.

Synopsis
  Status XGetIconName(display, w, icon_name_return)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	char **icon_name_return;

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  w	    Specifies the ID of the window whose icon name you want to learn.

  icon_name_return
	    Returns  a pointer to the name to be displayed in the window's icon.  The name is a NULL-terminated string.  If the data returned
	    by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the returned string is in the Host Portable  Character  Encoding.
	    Otherwise,	the result is implementation-dependent.  If a name hasn't been assigned to the window, XGetIconName() sets this argu-
	    ment to NULL.  When finished with it, a client must free the icon name string using XFree().

Returns
  Zero on failure, non-zero on success.

Description
  XGetIconName() is superseded by XGetWMIconName() in Release 4.  XGetIconName() reads the icon name property of a window.  This function  is
  primarily  used  by  window  managers to get the name to be written in a window's icon when they need to display that icon.  XGetIconName()
  returns a non-zero Status if it succeeds, and zero if no icon name has been set for the argument window.

  For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Interclient Communication.

Errors
  BadWindow

NAME
XSetWMIconName, XGetWMIconName, XSetIconName, XGetIconName - set or read a window's WM_ICON_NAME property SYNTAX
void XSetWMIconName(Display *display, Window w, XTextProperty *text_prop); Status XGetWMIconName(Display *display, Window w, XTextProperty *text_prop_return); int XSetIconName(Display *display, Window w, char *icon_name); Status XGetIconName(Display *display, Window w, char **icon_name_return); ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server. icon_name Specifies the icon name, which should be a null-terminated string. icon_name_return Returns the window's icon name, which is a null-terminated string. text_prop Specifies the XTextProperty structure to be used. text_prop_return Returns the XTextProperty structure. w Specifies the window. DESCRIPTION
The XSetWMIconName convenience function calls XSetTextProperty to set the WM_ICON_NAME property. The XGetWMIconName convenience function calls XGetTextProperty to obtain the WM_ICON_NAME property. It returns a nonzero status on suc- cess; otherwise, it returns a zero status. The XSetIconName function sets the name to be displayed in a window's icon. XSetIconName can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors. The XGetIconName function returns the name to be displayed in the specified window's icon. If it succeeds, it returns a nonzero status; otherwise, if no icon name has been set for the window, it returns zero. If you never assigned a name to the window, XGetIconName sets icon_name_return to NULL. If the data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the returned string is in the Host Portable Character Encoding. Otherwise, the result is implementation-dependent. When finished with it, a client must free the icon name string using XFree. XGetIconName can generate a BadWindow error. PROPERTIES
WM_ICON_NAME The name to be used in an icon. DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory. BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. SEE ALSO
