DESCRIPTION
The XSetWMIconName convenience function calls
XSetTextProperty to set the WM_ICON_NAME property.
The XGetWMIconName convenience function calls
XGetTextProperty to obtain the WM_ICON_NAME property. It
returns a nonzero status on success; otherwise, it returns a
zero status.
The XSetIconName function sets the name to be displayed in a

XSetWMIconName(3X11)X Version 11 (Release 6.6XSetWMIconName(3X11)
window's icon.
XSetIconName can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.
The XGetIconName function returns the name to be displayed
in the specified window's icon. If it succeeds, it returns
a nonzero status; otherwise, if no icon name has been set
for the window, it returns zero. If you never assigned a
name to the window, XGetIconName sets icon_name_return to
NULL. If the data returned by the server is in the Latin
Portable Character Encoding, then the returned string is in
the Host Portable Character Encoding. Otherwise, the result
is implementation-dependent. When finished with it, a
client must free the icon name string using XFree.
XGetIconName can generate a BadWindow error.
PROPERTIES
WM_ICON_NAME
The name to be used in an icon.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested
resource or server memory.
BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
defined Window.
