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 concate-
nation 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 insuf-
ficient memory is available for the new value string, XStringListTo-
TextProperty 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 repre-
senting 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 dis-
joint 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 XmbTextProp-
ertyToTextList, Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList and XTextProperty-
ToStringList and the missing charset list allocated by XCreateFontSet.
STRUCTURES
The XTextProperty 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;
