XStringListToTextProperty(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 structure to be used.

text_prop_return
    Returns the structure.

DESCRIPTION
The function sets the specified to be of type STRING (format 8) with a value representing the concatenation 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 assumed (without verification) to be in the STRING encoding. If insufficient memory is available for the new value string, does not set any fields in the structure and returns a zero status. Otherwise, it returns a nonzero status. To free the storage for the value field, use

The function returns a list of strings representing the null-separated elements of the specified 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 disjoint 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, 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

The function releases memory allocated by and and the missing charset list allocated by

STRUCTURES
The 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;
