NAME XStringListToTextProperty, XTextPropertyToStringList, XFreeStringList,
XTextProperty - convert string lists and text property structure SYNTAX Status XStringListToTextProperty(char **list, int count, XTextProperty *textpropreturn); Status XTextPropertyToStringList(XTextProperty *textprop, char ***listreturn, int *countreturn); void XFreeStringList(char **list); ARGUMENTS count Specifies the number of strings. countreturn Returns the number of strings. list Specifies the list of strings to be freed.
list Specifies a list of null-terminated character strings. listreturn
Returns a list of null-terminated character strings. textprop Specifies the XTextProperty structure to be used. textpropreturn Returns the XTextProperty structure. DESCRIPTION The XStringListToTextProperty function sets the specified XTextProperty to be of type STRING (format 8) with a value representing the concate‐
nation of the specified list of null-separated character strings. An extra null byte (which is not included in the nitems member) is stored at the end of the value field of textpropreturn. The strings are assumed (without verification) to be in the STRING encoding. If insuf‐ ficient memory is available for the new value string, XStringListTo‐ TextProperty does not set any fields in the XTextProperty structure and returns a zero status. Otherwise, it returns a nonzero status. To free the storage for the value field, use XFree. The XTextPropertyToStringList function returns a list of strings repre‐
senting the null-separated elements of the specified XTextProperty structure. The data in textprop must be of type STRING and format 8. Multiple elements of the property (for example, the strings in a dis‐ joint text selection) are separated by NULL (encoding 0). The contents
of the property are not null-terminated. If insufficient memory is available for the list and its elements, XTextPropertyToStringList sets no return values and returns a zero status. Otherwise, it returns a nonzero status. To free the storage for the list and its contents, use XFreeStringList. The XFreeStringList function releases memory allocated by XmbTextProp‐ ertyToTextList, Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList and XTextProperty‐ ToStringList and the missing charset list allocated by XCreateFontSet. STRUCTURES The XTextProperty structure contains: typedef struct { unsigned char *value; /* property data */ Atom encoding; /* type of property */ int format; /* 8, 16, or 32 */ unsigned long nitems; /* number of items in value */ } XTextProperty; SEE ALSO XAllocClassHint(3), XAllocIconSize(3), XAllocSizeHints(3), XAl‐ locWMHints(3), XFree(3), XSetCommand(3), XSetTransientForHint(3), XSet‐ TextProperty(3), XSetWMClientMachine(3), XSetWMColormapWindows(3), XSetWMIconName(3), XSetWMName(3), XSetWMProperties(3), XSetWMProto‐ cols(3)
