DESCRIPTION

       XmInternAtom  returns  an  atom  for a given name.  The returned atom remains defined even
       after the client's connection closes. The returned atom becomes undefined  when  the  last
       connection to the X server closes.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server

       name      Specifies  the  name  associated  with the atom you want returned.  The value of
                 name is case dependent.

       only_if_exists
                 Specifies a Boolean value.  If False, the atom is created even if  it  does  not
                 exist.   (If  it  does not exist, the returned atom will be None.)  If True, the
                 atom is created only if it exists.
