XGetNormalHints()XGetNormalHints()NameXGetNormalHints – get the size hints property of a window in normal
state (not zoomed or iconified).
Synopsis
Status XGetNormalHints(display, w, hints_return)
Display *display;
Window w;
XSizeHints *hints_return;
Arguments
display Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from
XOpenDisplay().
w Specifies the ID of the window to be queried.
hints_return
Returns the sizing hints for the window in its normal state.
Returns
Zero on failure, non-zero on success.
DescriptionXGetNormalHints() has been superseded by XGetWMNormalHints() as of
Release 4, because new interclient communication conventions are now
standard.
XGetNormalHints() returns the size hints for a window in its normal
state by reading the XA_WM_NORMAL_HINTS property. This function is
normally used only by a window manager. It returns a non-zero Status
if it succeeds, and zero if it fails (e.g., the application specified
no normal size hints for this window.)
For more information on using hints, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Inter‐
client Communication.
