XGetWMHints

Syntax

XWMHints *XGetWMHints(display, w)
      Display *display;
      Window w;

Arguments

display	Specifies the connection to the X server.
w	Specifies the window.

Description

The XGetWMHints() function reads the window manager hints and returns NULL if no WM_HINTS property was set on the window or returns a pointer to a XWMHints structure if it succeeds. When finished with the data, free the space used for it by calling XFree().

XGetWMHints() can generate a BadWindow error.

Diagnostics

BadWindow

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