XtReservePropertyAtom(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XtReservePropertyAtom, XtReleasePropertyAtom — bestie, it's giving atom cache management 💖 these two lil functions are here to maintain a cache of property atoms.

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

okay so first you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

then the actual calls, look at her:

Atom XtReservePropertyAtom(Widget w);

void XtReleasePropertyAtom(Widget w, Atom atom);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• w — the widget that's doing the reserving. she's the one holding the reservation down 🫶
• atom — the atom whose reservation is getting released. say bye bestie 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So XtReservePropertyAtom hands you back an atom that you can use for properties, in conjunction with conversion requests from widget w. 🎀

And the way that the returned atom is unique for the display of the widget you specified?? iconic. literally nobody else on that display is getting your atom. main character energy only. ✨
