  XIconifyWindow – request that a top-level window be iconified.

Synopsis
  Status XIconifyWindow(display, w, screen_number)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	int screen_number;

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

  screen_number

Description
  XIconifyWindow() sends a WM_CHANGE_STATE  ClientMessage  event  with	a
  format  of  32 and a first data element of IconicState (as described in
  Section 4.1.4 of the Inter-Client Communication Conventions  Manual  in
  Volume  Zero,	 X  Protocol Reference Manual), to the root window of the
  specified screen.  Window managers may elect to  receive  this  message
  and, if the window is in its normal state, may treat it as a request to
  change  the  window's	 state	 from	normal	 to   iconic.	 If   the
  WM_CHANGE_STATE  property cannot be interned, XIconifyWindow() does not
  send a message and returns a zero status.  It returns a non-zero status
  if  the  client  message  is sent successfully; otherwise, it returns a
  zero status.

  For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Interclient	 Communi‐
  cation.
