DESCRIPTION
The XSetSizeHints function sets the XSizeHints structure for
the named property and the specified window. This is used
by XSetNormalHints and XSetZoomHints, and can be used to set
the value of any property of type WM_SIZE_HINTS. Thus, it
may be useful if other properties of that type get defined.
XSetSizeHints can generate BadAlloc, BadAtom, and BadWindow
errors.
XGetSizeHints returns the XSizeHints structure for the named
property and the specified window. This is used by
XGetNormalHints and XGetZoomHints. It also can be used to
retrieve the value of any property of type WM_SIZE_HINTS.
Thus, it may be useful if other properties of that type get
defined. XGetSizeHints returns a nonzero status if a size
hint was defined or zero otherwise.
XGetSizeHints can generate BadAtom and BadWindow errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested
resource or server memory.
BadAtom A value for an Atom argument does not name a
defined Atom.
BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
defined Window.
