XSetTextProperty(3X11)						     MIT X11R4						    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 structure to be used.

       text_prop_return
		 Returns the structure.

Description
       The function replaces the existing, specified 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 structure.  If the property
       does not already exist, sets it for the specified window.

       can generate and errors.

       The function reads the specified property from the window and stores the data in the returned 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.  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, sets the value field to NULL, the encoding field to None, the format field to 0, and the
       nitems field to zero.

       If it was able to set these files in the structure, returns a non-zero status; otherwise, it returns a zero status.

       can generate and errors.

Properties
       WM_CLIENT_MACHINE
		 The string name of the machine on which the client application is running.

       WM_COMMAND
		 The command and arguments, separated by ASCII nulls, used to invoke the application.

       WM_ICON_NAME
		 Name to be used in icon.

       WM_NAME	 Name of the application.

Diagnostics
       The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.

       A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.

       Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
		 Unless a specific 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.

       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
