XReadBitmapFileData

Syntax

int XReadBitmapFileData(filename, width_return, height_return, data_return, x_hot_return, y_hot_return)
      char *filename;
      unsigned int *width_return, *height_return;
      unsigned char *data_return;
      int *x_hot_return, *y_hot_return;

Arguments

filename	Specifies the file name to use. The format of the file name is operating-system dependent.
width_return height_return	Return the width and height values of the read in bitmap file.
data_return	Returns the bitmap data.
x_hot_return y_hot_return	Return the hotspot coordinates.

Description

The XReadBitmapFileData() function reads in a file containing a bitmap, in the same manner as XReadBitmapFile(), but returns the data directly rather than creating a pixmap in the server. The bitmap data is returned in data_return; the client must free this storage when finished with it by calling XFree(). The status and other return values are the same as for XReadBitmapFile().
