DESCRIPTION

XmuNameOfAtom() returns the string represented by the specified AtomPtr. 

USAGE

Atoms are used when requesting or converting selection values in a widget or an application.  This and the related Xmu Atom functions provide client-side caching and help avoid roundtrips to the server.  There are also a number of very useful predefined Atom macros in <X11/Xmu/Atoms.h>.  These macros (XA_TEXT(d), for example) each take a display argument and return the appropriate Atom for that display.  They are named to complement the predefined Atoms from <X11/Xatom.h>. 

See XmuMakeAtom() and XmuInternAtom() for more information on using AtomPtrs. 

STRUCTURES

AtomPtr is an opaque type.
