XStoreName()							  XStoreName()

Name
  XStoreName – assign a name to a window for the window manager.

Synopsis
  XStoreName(display, w, window_name)
	Display *display;
	Window w;
	char *window_name;

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

  w	    Specifies the ID of the window to which you want to assign	a
	    name.

  window_name
	    Specifies the name of the window.  The name should be a NULL-
	    terminated string.	If the string is not in the Host Portable
	    Character  Encoding,  the result is implementation-dependent.
	    This name is returned by any subsequent call to XFetchName().

Description
  XStoreName() is superseded in Release 4 by XSetWMName().

  XStoreName() sets the XA_WM_NAME property, which should be used by  the
  application to communicate the following information to the window man‐
  ager, according to current conventions:

  ·  To permit the user to identify one of a number of instances  of  the
     same client.

  ·  To provide the user with noncritical state information.

  Clients  can assume that at least the beginning of this string is visi‐
  ble to the user.

  The XA_WM_CLASS property, on the other  hand,	 has  two  members  which
  should  be  used to identify the application's instance and class name,
  for the lookup of resources.	See XSetClassHint() for details.

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

Errors
  BadAlloc
  BadWindow
