+.SH NAME
+XAllocWMHints, XSetWMHints, XGetWMHints, XWMHints \- allocate window manager hints structure and set or read a window's WM_HINTS property
+.SH SYNTAX
+.HP
+XWMHints *XAllocWMHints\^(void\^);
+.HP
+int XSetWMHints\^(\^Display *\fIdisplay\fP, Window \fIw\fP, XWMHints *\fIwmhints\fP\^);
+.HP
+XWMHints *XGetWMHints\^(\^Display *\fIdisplay\fP, Window \fIw\fP\^);
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
+Specifies the connection to the X server.
+.IP \fIw\fP 1i
+Specifies the window.
+.IP \fIwmhints\fP 1i
+Specifies the
+.ZN XWMHints
+structure to be used.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XAllocWMHints
+function allocates and returns a pointer to a
+.ZN XWMHints
+structure.
+Note that all fields in the
+.ZN XWMHints
+structure are initially set to zero.
+If insufficient memory is available,
+.ZN XAllocWMHints
+returns NULL.
+To free the memory allocated to this structure,
+use
+.ZN XFree .
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XSetWMHints
+function sets the window manager hints that include icon information and location,
+the initial state of the window, and whether the application relies on the
+window manager to get keyboard input.
+.LP
+.ZN XSetWMHints
+can generate
+.ZN BadAlloc
+and
+.ZN BadWindow
+errors.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XGetWMHints
+function reads the window manager hints and
+returns NULL if no WM_HINTS property was set on the window
+or returns a pointer to a
+.ZN XWMHints
+structure if it succeeds.
+When finished with the data,
+free the space used for it by calling
+.ZN XFree .
+.LP
+.ZN XGetWMHints
+can generate a
+.ZN BadWindow
+error.
+.SH PROPERTIES

+\s-1WM_HINTS\s+1

+The input member is used to communicate to the window manager the input focus
+model used by the application.
+Applications that expect input but never explicitly set focus to any
+of their subwindows (that is, use the push model of focus management),
+such as X Version 10 style applications that use real-estate
+driven focus, should set this member to
+.ZN True .
+Similarly, applications
+that set input focus to their subwindows only when it is given to their
+top-level window by a window manager should also set this member to
+.ZN True .
+Applications that manage their own input focus by explicitly setting
+focus to one of their subwindows whenever they want keyboard input
+(that is, use the pull model of focus management) should set this member to
+.ZN False .
+Applications that never expect any keyboard input also should set this member
+to
+.ZN False .
+.LP
+Pull model window managers should make it possible for push model
+applications to get input by setting input focus to the top-level windows of
+applications whose input member is
+.ZN True .
+Push model window managers should
+make sure that pull model applications do not break them
+by resetting input focus to
+.ZN PointerRoot
+when it is appropriate (for example, whenever an application whose
+input member is
+.ZN False
+sets input focus to one of its subwindows).

+The icon_mask specifies which pixels of the icon_pixmap should be used as the
+icon.
+This allows for nonrectangular icons.
+Both icon_pixmap and icon_mask must be bitmaps.
+The icon_window lets an application provide a window for use as an icon
+for window managers that support such use.
+The window_group lets you specify that this window belongs to a group
+of other windows.
+For example, if a single application manipulates multiple
+top-level windows, this allows you to provide enough
+information that a window manager can iconify all of the windows
+rather than just the one window.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN UrgencyHint
+flag, if set in the flags field, indicates that the client deems the window
+contents to be urgent, requiring the timely response of the user. The
+window manager will make some effort to draw the user's attention to this
+window while this flag is set. The client must provide some means by which the
+user can cause the urgency flag to be cleared (either mitigating
+the condition that made the window urgent or merely shutting off the alarm)
+or the window to be withdrawn.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadAlloc
+The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadWindow
+A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
