💖 XmDeactivateWMProtocol 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the XmDeactivateWMProtocol page — it lives in the library call section of the manual, and it's genuinely one of the most low-key iconic little helpers in the whole Motif-adjacent toolkit. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

XmDeactivateWMProtocol — a VendorShell convenience interface that deactivates a protocol without removing it. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she turns the lights off but the furniture is still there. no cap. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
#include <Xm/Protocols.h>
void XmDeactivateWMProtocol(
Widget shell,
Atom protocol);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so XmDeactivateWMProtocol is a convenience interface. what does that mean, you ask? it means she's the bestie who does the annoying part for you: she calls XmDeactivateProtocol with the property value set to the atom returned by interning WM_PROTOCOLS. like, she interns the atom, sets the property value, hands it over, slays, leaves. ✨

here are the two things you gotta give her:

  • shell — specifies the widget with which the protocol property is associated 🫶
  • protocol — specifies the protocol atom ⭐
for a complete definition of VendorShell and its associated resources, go read VendorShell(3). she's the main character, this page is just her understudy. 💜

the girlies in this friend group, fr fr:

that's the whole page, bestie — she's short, she's sweet, she deactivates without removing, and she did it all without breaking a sweat. 💀🎀

this has been XmDeactivateWMProtocol(library call), brought to you by the library call section of the manual — yes, the footer said the same thing as the header, that's just her brand, iconic behavior only. 👑💖 bye pookie, go intern an atom 🦋
