AllcSzeHint(3X) — DeltaWindows 1.3.3 Release 4 Version 4.3

NAME

XAllocSizeHints — allocate an XSizeHints structure.

SYNOPSIS

XSizeHints ∗XAllocSizeHints()

RETURNS

The allocated structure.

AVAILABILITY

Release 4 and later.

DESCRIPTION

XAllocSizeHints() allocates and returns a pointer to an XSizeHints structure, for use in calling XSetWMProperties(), XSetWMNormalHints(), or XGetWMNormalHints(). Note that all fields in the XSizeHints structure are initially set to zero. If insufficient memory is available, XAllocSizeHints() returns NULL. To free the memory allocated to this structure, use XFree().

The purpose of this function is to avoid compiled-in structure sizes, so that object files will be binary compatible with later releases that may have new members added to structures.

For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 10, Interclient Communication.
