XStringListToTextProperty(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS 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 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
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, XStringListToTextProperty 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
representing 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
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,
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
XmbTextPropertyToTextList, Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList and
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;
