     NAME
          XGetWindowAttributes, XGetGeometry - get current window
          attribute or geometry

     SYNOPSIS
          Status XGetWindowAttributes(display, w,
          window_attributes_return)
                Display *display;
                Window w;
                XWindowAttributes *window_attributes_return;

          Status XGetGeometry(display, d, root_return, x_return,
          y_return, width_return,
                                height_return,
          border_width_return, depth_return)
                  Display *display;
                  Drawable d;
                  Window *root_return;
                  int *x_return, *y_return;
                  unsigned int *width_return, *height_return;
                  unsigned int *border_width_return;
                  unsigned int *depth_return;

     ARGUMENTS
          border_width_return
                    Returns the border width in pixels.

          d         Specifies the drawable, which can be a window
                    or a pixmap.

          depth_return
                    Returns the depth of the drawable (bits per
                    pixel for the object).

          display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

          root_return
                    Returns the root window.

          w         Specifies the window whose current attributes
                    you want to obtain.

          width_return
          height_return
                    Return the drawable's dimensions (width and
                    height).

          window_attributes_return
                    Returns the specified window's attributes in
                    the XWindowAttributes structure.

          y_return  Return the x and y coordinates that define
                    the location of the drawable.  For a window,
                    these coordinates specify the upper-left
                    outer corner relative to its parent's origin.
                    For pixmaps, these coordinates are always
                    zero.

     DESCRIPTION
          The XGetWindowAttributes function returns the current
          attributes for the specified window to an
          XWindowAttributes structure.

          XGetWindowAttributes can generate BadDrawable and
          BadWindow errors.

          The XGetGeometry function returns the root window and
          the current geometry of the drawable.  The geometry of
          the drawable includes the x and y coordinates, width
          and height, border width, and depth.  These are
          described in the argument list.  It is legal to pass to
          this function a window whose class is InputOnly.

     DIAGNOSTICS
          BadDrawable
                    A value for a Drawable argument does not name
                    a defined Window or Pixmap.

          BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
                    defined Window.
