       hints	 Specifies the structure to be used.

       hints_return
		 Returns the size hints for the window in its normal state.

       property	 Specifies the property name.

       supplied_return

DESCRIPTION
       The function allocates and returns a pointer to a structure.  Note that
       all fields in the structure are initially set to zero.  If insufficient
       memory is available, returns NULL.  To free the memory allocated to
       this structure, use

       The function replaces the size hints for the WM_NORMAL_HINTS property
       on the specified window.	 If the property does not already exist, sets
       the size hints for the WM_NORMAL_HINTS property on the specified win‐
       dow.  The property is stored with a type of WM_SIZE_HINTS and a format
       of 32.

       can generate and errors.

       The function returns the size hints stored in the WM_NORMAL_HINTS prop‐
       erty on the specified window.  If the property is of type
       WM_SIZE_HINTS, is of format 32, and is long enough to contain either an
       old (pre-ICCCM) or new size hints structure, sets the various fields of
       the structure, sets the supplied_return argument to the list of fields
       that were supplied by the user (whether or not they contained defined
       values), and returns a nonzero status.  Otherwise, it returns a zero
       status.

       If returns successfully and a pre-ICCCM size hints property is read,
       the supplied_return argument will contain the following bits:

       (USPosition|USSize|PPosition|PSize|PMinSize|
	PMaxSize|PResizeInc|PAspect)

       If the property is large enough to contain the base size and window
       gravity fields as well, the supplied_return argument will also contain
       the following bits:

       PBaseSize|PWinGravity

       can generate a PN BadWindow error.

       The function replaces the size hints for the specified property on the
       named window.  If the specified property does not already exist, sets
       the size hints for the specified property on the named window.  The
       property is stored with a type of WM_SIZE_HINTS and a format of 32.  To
       set a window's normal size hints, you can use the function.

       can generate and errors.

       The function returns the size hints stored in the specified property on
       the named window.  If the property is of type WM_SIZE_HINTS, is of for‐
       mat 32, and is long enough to contain either an old (pre-ICCCM) or new
       size hints structure, sets the various fields of the structure, sets
       the supplied_return argument to the list of fields that were supplied
       by the user (whether or not they contained defined values), and returns
       a nonzero status.  Otherwise, it returns a zero status.	To get a win‐
       dow's normal size hints, you can use the function.

       If returns successfully and a pre-ICCCM size hints property is read,
       the supplied_return argument will contain the following bits:

       (USPosition|USSize|PPosition|PSize|PMinSize|
	PMaxSize|PResizeInc|PAspect)

       If the property is large enough to contain the base size and window
       gravity fields as well, the supplied_return argument will also contain
       the following bits:

       PBaseSize|PWinGravity

       can generate and errors.

PROPERTIES
       WM_NORMAL_HINTS
		 Size hints for a window in its normal state.  The C type of
		 this property is

STRUCTURES
       The structure contains:

       /* Size hints mask bits */

       #define	 USPosition    (1L << 0)   /* user specified x, y */
       #define	 USSize	       (1L << 1)   /* user specified width, height */
       #define	 PPosition     (1L << 2)   /* program specified position */
       #define	 PSize	       (1L << 3)   /* program specified size */
       #define	 PMinSize      (1L << 4)   /* program specified minimum size */
       #define	 PMaxSize      (1L << 5)   /* program specified maximum size */
       #define	 PResizeInc    (1L << 6)   /* program specified resize increments */
       #define	 PAspect       (1L << 7)   /* program specified min and max aspect ratios */
       #define	 PBaseSize     (1L << 8)
       #define	 PWinGravity   (1L << 9)

       #define	 PAllHints   (PPosition|PSize|PMinSize|
							  PMaxSize|PResizeInc|PAspect)

       /* Values */

       typedef struct {
	       long flags;     /* marks which fields in this structure are defined */
	       int x, y;       /* Obsolete */
	       int width, height;      /* Obsolete */
	       int min_width, min_height;
	       int max_width, max_height;
	       int width_inc, height_inc;
	       struct {
		      int x;   /* numerator */
		      int y;   /* denominator */
	       } min_aspect, max_aspect;
	       int base_width, base_height;
	       int win_gravity;
       } XSizeHints;

       The x, y, width, and height members are now obsolete and are left
       solely for compatibility reasons.  The min_width and min_height members
       specify the minimum window size that still allows the application to be
       useful.	The max_width and max_height members specify the maximum win‐
       dow size.  The width_inc and height_inc members define an arithmetic
       progression of sizes (minimum to maximum) into which the window prefers
       to be resized.  The min_aspect and max_aspect members are expressed as
       ratios of x and y, and they allow an application to specify the range
       of aspect ratios it prefers.  The base_width and base_height members
       define the desired size of the window.  The window manager will inter‐
       pret the position of the window and its border width to position the
       point of the outer rectangle of the overall window specified by the
       win_gravity member.  The outer rectangle of the window includes any
       borders or decorations supplied by the window manager.  In other words,
       if the window manager decides to place the window where the client
       asked, the position on the parent window's border named by the
       win_gravity will be placed where the client window would have been
       placed in the absence of a window manager.

       Note that use of the macro is highly discouraged.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.

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

       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
