       String name,
       Boolean only_if_exists);

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.
