XLIB FUNCTIONS                                  XSetCommand(3x11)



NAME
     XSetCommand, XGetCommand - set or read a window's WM_COMMAND
     property

SYNTAX
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     int XSetCommand(Display *display, Window w, char **argv, int
          argc);

     Status XGetCommand(Display *display, Window w, char
          ***argv_return, int *argc_return);

ARGUMENTS
     argc      Specifies the number of arguments.

     argc_return
               Returns the number of arguments returned.

     argv      Specifies the application's argument list.

     argv_return
               Returns the application's argument list.

     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     w         Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION
     The XSetCommand function sets the command and arguments used
     to invoke the application.  (Typically, argv is the argv
     array of your main program.)  If the strings are not in the
     Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is
     implementation-dependent.

     XSetCommand can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.

     The XGetCommand function reads the WM_COMMAND property from
     the specified window and returns a string list.  If the
     WM_COMMAND property exists, it is of type STRING and format
     8.  If sufficient memory can be allocated to contain the
     string list, XGetCommand fills in the argv_return and
     argc_return arguments and returns a nonzero status.  Other-
     wise, or if any other error is encountered, it returns a
     zero status.  If the data returned by the server is in the
     Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the returned strings
     are in the Host Portable Character Encoding.  Otherwise, the
     result is implementation-dependent.  To free the memory
     allocated to the string list, use XFreeStringList.

               The command and arguments, null-separated, used to
               invoke the application.

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.
