πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ

Tk_Window
Tk_IdToWindow(display, window)
like yes, two args, returns a Tk_Window, we love a simple signature π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
Display *display(in) β the X display that's holding the window. it's giving "where is she at" πWindow window(in) β the X id for the window. her government name, basically π
both are inputs, no outputs, no surprises, no drama π§
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea π: you hand over an X window identifier plus the X display it corresponds to, and this procedure gives you back the matching Tk_Window handle. that's the glow-up β raw X id in, shiny Tk handle out β¨
and if there's no Tk_Window that corresponds to window? then you get NULL back. not an error, not a crash, just NULL. she simply says "never heard of her" ππ
heads up bestie: NULL is the whole answer for "no match". plan for it, don't be out here dereferencing vibes π
π KEYWORDS π
