Syntax
       XRecolorCursor(display, cursor, foreground_color, background_color)
	  Display *display;
	  Cursor cursor;
	  XColor *foreground_color, *background_color;

       XFreeCursor(display, cursor)
	  Display *display;
	  Cursor cursor;

       Status XQueryBestCursor(display, d, width, height, width_return, height_return)
	  Display *display;
	  Drawable d;
	  unsigned int width, height;
	  unsigned int *width_return, *height_return;

Arguments
       background_color
		 Specifies the RGB values for the background of the source.

       cursor	 Specifies the cursor.

       d	 Specifies the drawable, which indicates the screen.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       foreground_color
		 Specifies the RGB values for the foreground of the source.

       width
       height	 Specify the width and heightof the cursor that you want the size information for.

       width_return
       height_return
		 Return the best width and height that is closest to the specified width and height.

Description
       The function changes the color of the specified cursor, and if the cursor is being displayed on a screen, the change is visible immedi-
       ately.

       can generate a error.

       The function deletes the association between the cursor resource ID and the specified cursor.  The cursor storage is freed when no other
       resource references it.	The specified cursor ID should not be referred to again.

       can generate a error.

       Some displays allow larger cursors than other displays.	The function provides a way to find out what size cursors are actually possible on
       the display.  It returns the largest size that can be displayed.  Applications should be prepared to use smaller cursors on displays that
       cannot support large ones.

       can generate a error.

Diagnostics
       A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.

       A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
