NAME

       XStringListToTextProperty,  XTextPropertyToStringList,  XFreeStringList,  XTextProperty  -
       convert string lists and text property structure

SYNTAX

       Status XStringListToTextProperty(char **list, int count, XTextProperty *text_prop_return);

       Status  XTextPropertyToStringList(XTextProperty  *text_prop,  char   ***list_return,   int
              *count_return);

       void XFreeStringList(char **list);

ARGUMENTS

       count     Specifies the number of strings.

       count_return
                 Returns the number of strings.

       list      Specifies the list of strings to be freed.

       list      Specifies a list of null-terminated character strings.

       list_return
                 Returns a list of null-terminated character strings.

       text_prop Specifies the XTextProperty structure to be used.

       text_prop_return
                 Returns the XTextProperty structure.

DESCRIPTION

       The  XStringListToTextProperty  function  sets  the  specified XTextProperty to be of type
       STRING (format 8) with a value representing the concatenation of  the  specified  list  of
       null-separated character strings.  An extra null byte (which is not included in the nitems
       member) is stored at the end of the value field  of  text_prop_return.   The  strings  are
       assumed  (without  verification)  to be in the STRING encoding.  If insufficient memory is
       available for the new value string, XStringListToTextProperty does not set any  fields  in
       the  XTextProperty  structure  and returns a zero status.  Otherwise, it returns a nonzero
       status.  To free the storage for the value field, use XFree.

       The XTextPropertyToStringList function returns a list of strings  representing  the  null-
       separated  elements  of the specified XTextProperty structure.  The data in text_prop must
       be of type STRING and format 8.  Multiple elements  of  the  property  (for  example,  the
       strings in a disjoint text selection) are separated by NULL (encoding 0).  The contents of
       the property are not null-terminated.  If insufficient memory is available  for  the  list
       and  its  elements,  XTextPropertyToStringList  sets  no  return values and returns a zero
       status.  Otherwise, it returns a nonzero status.  To free the storage for the list and its
       contents, use XFreeStringList.

       The  XFreeStringList  function  releases  memory  allocated  by XmbTextPropertyToTextList,
       Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList and XTextPropertyToStringList and  the  missing  charset  list
       allocated by XCreateFontSet.

STRUCTURES

       The XTextProperty structure contains:

       typedef struct {
               unsigned char *value;   /* property data */
               Atom encoding;  /* type of property */
               int format;     /* 8, 16, or 32 */
               unsigned long nitems;   /* number of items in value */
       } XTextProperty;
