char **list;
int count;
XTextProperty *text_prop_return;

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-sep‐
arated 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 exam‐
ple, 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;
