ARGUMENTS
       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       iconname Specifies the icon name, which should be a null-terminated
                 string.

       iconnamereturn
                 Returns the window's icon name, which is a null-terminated
                 string.

       textprop Specifies the XTextProperty structure to be used.

       textpropreturn

       w         Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION
       The XSetWMIconName convenience function calls XSetTextProperty to set
       the WMICONNAME property.

       The XGetWMIconName convenience function calls XGetTextProperty to
       obtain the WMICONNAME property.  It returns a nonzero status on suc‐
       cess; otherwise, it returns a zero status.

       The XSetIconName function sets the name to be displayed in a window's
       icon.

       XSetIconName can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.

       The XGetIconName function returns the name to be displayed in the spec‐
       ified window's icon.  If it succeeds, it returns a nonzero status; oth‐
       erwise, if no icon name has been set for the window, it returns zero.
       If you never assigned a name to the window, XGetIconName sets
       iconnamereturn to NULL.  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 implementa‐
       tion-dependent.  When finished with it, a client must free the icon
       name string using XFree.

       XGetIconName can generate a BadWindow error.

PROPERTIES
       WMICONNAME
                 The name to be used in an icon.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested resource or
                 server memory.

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