     NAME
          XmInternAtom - a function that returns an atom for  a  given
          name.



     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Xm.h>
          #include <X11/AtomMgr.h>

          Atom XmInternAtom (display, name, only_if_exists)
               Display   * display;
               String    name;
               Boolean   only_if_exists;



     DESCRIPTION
          XmInternAtom returns an atom for a given  name.  It  mirrors
          the  Xlib  interfaces  for  atom  management,  but  provides
          client-side caching.  When and where caching is provided  in
          Xlib,  the  routines  will  become  pseudonyms  for the Xlib
          routines.


          display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

          name      Specifies the name associated with  the  atom  you
                    want returned.

          only_if_exists
                    Specifies a Boolean value that  indicates  whether
                    XInternAtom creates the atom.



     RETURN VALUE
          Returns an atom.
