XStringLi...xtProperty(3) Library Functions Manual XStringLi...xtProperty(3) NAME XStringListToTextProperty, XTextPropertyToStringList, XFreeStringList, XTextProperty - convert string lists and text property structure SYNTAX Status XStringListToTextProperty(char **list, int count, XTextProperty *text_prop_return); Status XTextPropertyToStringList(XTextProperty *text_prop, char ***list_return, int *count_return); void XFreeStringList(char **list); ARGUMENTS count Specifies the number of strings. count_return Returns the number of strings. list Specifies the list of strings to be freed. list Specifies a list of null-terminated character strings. list_return Returns a list of null-terminated character strings. text_prop Specifies the XTextProperty structure to be used. text_prop_return 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 text_prop_return. The strings are as- sumed (without verification) to be in the STRING encoding. If insuffi- cient 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 text_prop 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) Xlib - C Language X Interface XLIB FUNCTIONS X Version 11 XStringLi...xtProperty(3)
