XDeleteProperty

Syntax

XDeleteProperty(display, w, property)
      Display *display;
      Window w;
      Atom property;

Arguments

display	Specifies the connection to the X server.
w	Specifies the window whose property you want to delete.
property	Specifies the property name.

Description

The XDeleteProperty() function deletes the specified property only if the property was defined on the specified window and causes the X server to generate a PropertyNotify event on the window unless the property does not exist.

XDeleteProperty() can generate BadAtom and BadWindow errors.

Diagnostics

BadAtom	A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
BadWindow	A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
