XDeleteProperty()					     XDeleteProperty()

Name
  XDeleteProperty – delete a window property.

Synopsis
  XDeleteProperty(display, w, property)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	Atom property;

Arguments
  display   Specifies	a  connection  to  an  X  server;  returned  from
	    XOpenDisplay().

  w	    Specifies the ID of the window whose  property  you	 want  to
	    delete.

  property  Specifies the atom of the property to be deleted.

Description
  XDeleteProperty()  deletes a window property, so that it no longer con‐
  tains any data.  Its atom, specified by property,  still  exists  after
  the  call  so that it can be used again later by any application to set
  the property once again.  If the property was defined on the	specified
  window, XDeleteProperty() generates a PropertyNotify event.

  See  the  introduction  to  properties in Volume One, Chapter 2, X Con‐
  cepts, or more detailed information in Volume One, Chapter  12,  Inter‐
  client Communication.

Errors
  BadAtom
  BadWindow
