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 XGetNor-
malHints 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

resource or server memory.
