Name
XServerVendor, ServerVendor - return the vendor of connected server.
Synopsis
char *XServerVendor(display)
Display *display;
Arguments
display Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().
Returns
The server vendor's string.
Description
XServerVendor() returns a pointer to a NULL-terminated string that provides some identification of the X server implementation. If the
data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the string is in the Host Portable Character Encoding. Oth-
erwise, the contents of the string are implementation-dependent.
This function and XVendorRelease() make it possible to work around bugs in particular server implementations.
The C language macro ServerVendor() is equivalent and slightly more efficient.
Note also that in Release 5, the XlibSpecificationRelease symbol is defined (with the value 5) by Xlib. Before Release 5 this symbol was
not defined.
