+the strings ``thing'', ``Thing'', and ``thinG'' +all designate different atoms. +The atom will remain defined even after the client's connection closes. +It will become undefined only when the last connection to +the X server closes. +.LP +.ZN XInternAtom +can generate +.ZN BadAlloc +and +.ZN BadValue +errors. +.LP +The +.ZN XInternAtoms +function returns the atom identifiers associated with the specified names. +The atoms are stored in the atoms_return array supplied by the caller. +Calling this function is equivalent to calling +.ZN XInternAtom +for each of the names in turn with the specified value of only_if_exists, +but this function minimizes the number of round-trip protocol exchanges +between the client and the X server. +.LP +This function returns a nonzero status if atoms are returned for +all of the names; +otherwise, it returns zero. +.LP +.ZN XInternAtoms +can generate +.ZN BadAlloc +and +.ZN BadValue +errors. +.LP +The +.ZN XGetAtomName +function returns the name associated with the specified atom. +If the data returned by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding, +then the returned string is in the Host Portable Character Encoding. +Otherwise, the result is implementation-dependent. +To free the resulting string, +call +.ZN XFree . +.LP +.ZN XGetAtomName +can generate a +.ZN BadAtom +error. +.LP +The +.ZN XGetAtomNames +function returns the names associated with the specified atoms. +The names are stored in the names_return array supplied by the caller. +Calling this function is equivalent to calling +.ZN XGetAtomName +for each of the atoms in turn, +but this function minimizes the number of round-trip protocol exchanges +between the client and the X server. +.LP +This function returns a nonzero status if names are returned for +all of the atoms;
