DESCRIPTION

39       The  XSetWMIconName  convenience function calls XSetTextProperty to set
40       the WM_ICON_NAME property.
41
42       The XGetWMIconName convenience function calls XGetTextProperty  to  ob‐
43       tain  the  WM_ICON_NAME  property.  It returns a nonzero status on suc‐
44       cess; otherwise, it returns a zero status.
45
46       The XSetIconName function sets the name to be displayed in  a  window's
47       icon.
48
49       XSetIconName can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.
50
51       The XGetIconName function returns the name to be displayed in the spec‐
52       ified window's icon.  If it succeeds, it returns a nonzero status; oth‐
53       erwise,  if  no icon name has been set for the window, it returns zero.
54       If  you  never  assigned  a  name  to  the  window,  XGetIconName  sets
55       icon_name_return to NULL.  If the data returned by the server is in the
56       Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the returned string is  in  the
57       Host Portable Character Encoding.  Otherwise, the result is implementa‐
58       tion-dependent.  When finished with it, a client  must  free  the  icon
59       name string using XFree.
60
61       XGetIconName can generate a BadWindow error.
