XMGETATOMNAME(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the XmGetAtomName(library call) page 💖 — this is XmGetAtomName — A function that returns the string representation for an atom. no cap, that's literally the whole name section. iconic ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
#include <Xm/AtomMgr.h>
String XmGetAtomName(
Display * display,
Atom atom);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so XmGetAtomName returns the string representation for an atom. it mirrors the Xlib interfaces for atom management but provides client-side caching. when and where caching is provided in Xlib, the routines will become pseudonyms for the Xlib routines. fr fr, that's the tea. 🍵

• display — Specifies the connection to the X server
• atom — Specifies the atom for the property name you want returned

🫶 RETURN 🫶

Returns a string. The function allocates space to hold the returned string. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by calling XFree.

bestie, the function is not gonna manage that memory for you — that's on the application. you can recover it with XFree, periodt. 💅

and that's the XmGetAtomName(library call) sign-off, mwah 💋✨
