the actual type of the property; the actual format of the property; -the number of 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit items transferred; the number of bytes remaining -to be read in the property; and a pointer to the data actually returned. -.ZN XGetWindowProperty -sets the return arguments as follows: -.IP \(bu 5 -If the specified property does not exist for the specified window, -.ZN XGetWindowProperty -returns -.ZN None -to actual_type_return and the value zero to -actual_format_return and bytes_after_return. -The nitems_return argument is empty. -In this case, the delete argument is ignored. -.IP \(bu 5 -If the specified property exists -but its type does not match the specified type, -.ZN XGetWindowProperty -returns the actual property type to actual_type_return, -the actual property format (never zero) to actual_format_return, -and the property length in bytes -(even if the actual_format_return is 16 or 32) -to bytes_after_return. -It also ignores the delete argument. -The nitems_return argument is empty. -.IP \(bu 5 -If the specified property exists and either you assign -.ZN AnyPropertyType -to the req_type argument or the specified type matches the actual property type, -.ZN XGetWindowProperty -returns the actual property type to actual_type_return and the actual -property format (never zero) to actual_format_return. -It also returns a value to bytes_after_return and nitems_return, by -defining the following -values: -.IP -.nf - N = actual length of the stored property in bytes - (even if the format is 16 or 32) - I = 4 * long_offset - T = N - I - L = MINIMUM(T, 4 * long_length) - A = N - (I + L) -.fi -.IP -The returned value starts at byte index I in the property (indexing -from zero), and its length in bytes is L. -If the value for long_offset causes L to be negative, -a -.ZN BadValue -error results. -The value of bytes_after_return is A, -giving the number of trailing unread bytes in the stored property. -.LP -If the returned format is 8, the returned data is represented as a -.ZN char -array. -If the returned format is 16, the returned data is represented as a -.ZN short -array and should be cast to that type to obtain the elements. -If the returned format is 32, the returned data is represented as a -.ZN long -array and should be cast to that type to obtain the elements. -.LP -.ZN XGetWindowProperty -always allocates one extra byte in prop_return -(even if the property is zero length) -and sets it to zero so that simple properties consisting of characters -do not have to be copied into yet another string before use. -.LP -If delete is -.ZN True -and bytes_after_return is zero, -.ZN XGetWindowProperty -deletes the property -from the window and generates a -.ZN PropertyNotify -event on the window. -.LP -The function returns -.ZN Success -if it executes successfully. -To free the resulting data, -use -.ZN XFree . -.LP -.ZN XGetWindowProperty -can generate -.ZN BadAtom , -.ZN BadValue , -and -.ZN BadWindow -errors. -.LP -The -.ZN XListProperties -function returns a pointer to an array of atom properties that are defined for -the specified window or returns NULL if no properties were found. -To free the memory allocated by this function, use -.ZN XFree . -.LP -.ZN XListProperties -can generate a -.ZN BadWindow -error. -.LP -The -.ZN XChangeProperty -function alters the property for the specified window and -causes the X server to generate a -.ZN PropertyNotify -event on that window. -.ZN XChangeProperty -performs the following: -.IP \(bu 5 -If mode is -.ZN PropModeReplace , -.ZN XChangeProperty -discards the previous property value and stores the new data. -.IP \(bu 5 -If mode is -.ZN PropModePrepend -or -.ZN PropModeAppend , -.ZN XChangeProperty -inserts the specified data before the beginning of the existing data -or onto the end of the existing data, respectively. -The type and format must match the existing property value, -or a -.ZN BadMatch -error results. -If the property is undefined, -it is treated as defined with the correct type and -format with zero-length data. -.LP -If the specified format is 8, the property data must be a -.ZN char -array. -If the specified format is 16, the property data must be a -.ZN short -array. -If the specified format is 32, the property data must be a -.ZN long -array. -.LP -The lifetime of a property is not tied to the storing client. -Properties remain until explicitly deleted, until the window is destroyed, -or until the server resets. -For a discussion of what happens when the connection to the X server is closed, -see section 2.6. -The maximum size of a property is server dependent and can vary dynamically -depending on the amount of memory the server has available. -(If there is insufficient space, a -.ZN BadAlloc -error results.) -.LP -.ZN XChangeProperty -can generate -.ZN BadAlloc , -.ZN BadAtom , -.ZN BadMatch , -.ZN BadValue , -and -.ZN BadWindow -errors. -.LP -The -.ZN XRotateWindowProperties -function allows you to rotate properties on a window and causes -the X server to generate -.ZN PropertyNotify -events. -If the property names in the properties array are viewed as being numbered -starting from zero and if there are num_prop property names in the list, -then the value associated with property name I becomes the value associated -with property name (I + npositions) mod N for all I from zero to N \- 1. -The effect is to rotate the states by npositions places around the virtual ring -of property names (right for positive npositions, -left for negative npositions). -If npositions mod N is nonzero, -the X server generates a -.ZN PropertyNotify -event for each property in the order that they are listed in the array. -If an atom occurs more than once in the list or no property with that -name is defined for the window, -a -.ZN BadMatch -error results. -If a -.ZN BadAtom -or -.ZN BadMatch -error results, -no properties are changed. -.LP -.ZN XRotateWindowProperties -can generate -.ZN BadAtom , -.ZN BadMatch , -and -.ZN BadWindow -errors. -.LP -The -.ZN XDeleteProperty -function deletes the specified property only if the -property was defined on the specified window -and causes the X server to generate a -.ZN PropertyNotify -event on the window unless the property does not exist. -.LP -.ZN XDeleteProperty -can generate -.ZN BadAtom -and -.ZN BadWindow -errors. -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -.TP 1i -.ZN BadAlloc -The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory. -.TP 1i -.ZN BadAtom -A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom. -.TP 1i -.ZN BadValue -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. -.TP 1i -.ZN BadWindow -A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -XFree(__libmansuffix__), -XInternAtom(__libmansuffix__) -.br -\fI\*(xL\fP +.\" Copyright \(co 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1996 X Consortium

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The

+function returns the actual type of the property; the actual format of the property;
+the number of 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit items transferred; the number of bytes remaining
+to be read in the property; and a pointer to the data actually returned.
+.ZN XGetWindowProperty
+sets the return arguments as follows:
+.IP \(bu 5
+If the specified property does not exist for the specified window,
+.ZN XGetWindowProperty
+returns
+.ZN None
+to actual_type_return and the value zero to
+actual_format_return and bytes_after_return.
+The nitems_return argument is empty.
+In this case, the delete argument is ignored.
+.IP \(bu 5
+If the specified property exists
+but its type does not match the specified type,
+.ZN XGetWindowProperty
+returns the actual property type to actual_type_return,
+the actual property format (never zero) to actual_format_return,
+and the property length in bytes
+(even if the actual_format_return is 16 or 32)
+to bytes_after_return.
+It also ignores the delete argument.
+The nitems_return argument is empty.
+.IP \(bu 5
+If the specified property exists and either you assign
+.ZN AnyPropertyType

+.ZN XGetWindowProperty
+returns the actual property type to actual_type_return and the actual
+property format (never zero) to actual_format_return.
+It also returns a value to bytes_after_return and nitems_return, by
+defining the following
+values:
+.IP
+.nf
+ N = actual length of the stored property in bytes
+ (even if the format is 16 or 32)
+ I = 4 * long_offset
+ T = N - I
+ L = MINIMUM(T, 4 * long_length)
+ A = N - (I + L)
+.fi
+.IP
+The returned value starts at byte index I in the property (indexing
+from zero), and its length in bytes is L.
+If the value for long_offset causes L to be negative,
+a
+.ZN BadValue
+error results.
+The value of bytes_after_return is A,
+giving the number of trailing unread bytes in the stored property.
+.LP
+If the returned format is 8, the returned data is represented as a
+.ZN char
+array.
+If the returned format is 16, the returned data is represented as a
+.ZN short
+array and should be cast to that type to obtain the elements.
+If the returned format is 32, the returned data is represented as a
+.ZN long
+array and should be cast to that type to obtain the elements.
+.LP
+.ZN XGetWindowProperty
+always allocates one extra byte in prop_return
+(even if the property is zero length)
+and sets it to zero so that simple properties consisting of characters
+do not have to be copied into yet another string before use.
+.LP
+If delete is
+.ZN True
+and bytes_after_return is zero,
+.ZN XGetWindowProperty
+deletes the property
+from the window and generates a

+The

+function alters the property for the specified window and

+If mode is
+.ZN PropModePrepend

+.ZN XChangeProperty
+inserts the specified data before the beginning of the existing data
+or onto the end of the existing data, respectively.
+The type and format must match the existing property value,
+or a
+.ZN BadMatch
+error results.
+If the property is undefined,
+it is treated as defined with the correct type and

+The lifetime of a property is not tied to the storing client.
+Properties remain until explicitly deleted, until the window is destroyed,
+or until the server resets.
+For a discussion of what happens when the connection to the X server is closed,
+see section 2.6.
+The maximum size of a property is server dependent and can vary dynamically
+depending on the amount of memory the server has available.

+The
+.ZN XRotateWindowProperties
+function allows you to rotate properties on a window and causes
+the X server to generate
+.ZN PropertyNotify
+events.
+If the property names in the properties array are viewed as being numbered
+starting from zero and if there are num_prop property names in the list,
+then the value associated with property name I becomes the value associated
+with property name (I + npositions) mod N for all I from zero to N \- 1.
+The effect is to rotate the states by npositions places around the virtual ring
+of property names (right for positive npositions,
+left for negative npositions).
+If npositions mod N is nonzero,
+the X server generates a
+.ZN PropertyNotify
+event for each property in the order that they are listed in the array.
+If an atom occurs more than once in the list or no property with that
+name is defined for the window,
+a
+.ZN BadMatch
+error results.
+If a
+.ZN BadAtom
+or
+.ZN BadMatch
+error results,
+no properties are changed.

+The
