XMISMOTIFWMRUNNING(3)

💖 XmIsMotifWMRunning 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the library call section of the manual, and it's literally just one tiny function whose whole entire job is answering one (1) question: is the window manager running or not 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

XmIsMotifWMRunning — a function that determines whether the window manager is running 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Boolean XmIsMotifWMRunning(
Widget shell);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

XmIsMotifWMRunning lets a user know whether the Motif Window Manager is running on a screen that contains a specific widget hierarchy. no cap, that's the whole vibe check 👑

so here's the tea on how it does it, step by step, because the way that this function works is actually so cute:

1. First, it looks to see whether the _MOTIF_WM_INFO property is present on the root window of the shell's screen. 🧚
2. If it is present — slay — then its window field gets used to query for the presence of the specified window as a child of root. ✨

• shell — Specifies the shell whose screen will be tested for mwm's presence. 🫶

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Returns True if MWM is running. periodt. 💖

fr fr, that's it — True means yes, mwm is out there living its main character life. 🙈

okay that's the whole page, no filler, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓 this was the XmIsMotifWMRunning page from the library call manual — sending u love from the Xm girlies, stay iconic bestie 💜🌸🦋
