XTextPropertyToStringList()XTextPropertyToStringList()NameXTextPropertyToStringList – get a list of strings from a specified
XTextProperty structure.
Synopsis
Status XTextPropertyToStringList(text_prop, list_return, count_return)
XTextProperty *text_prop;
char ***list_return;
int *count_return;
Arguments
text_prop Specifies the XTextProperty structure to be used.
list_return Returns a list of NULL-terminated character strings.
count_return Returns the number of strings.
Returns
Zero on failure, non-zero on success.
Availability
Release 4 and later.
DescriptionXTextPropertyToStringList() returns a list of strings representing the
null-separated elements of the specified XTextProperty structure. The
data in text_prop must be of type STRING and format 8. Multiple ele‐
ments of the property (for example, the strings in a disjoint text
selection) are separated by a NULL (encoding 0). The contents of the
property are not NULL-terminated. If insufficient memory is available
for the list and its elements, XTextPropertyToStringList() sets no
return values and returns a zero status. Otherwise, it returns a non-
zero status. To free the storage for the list and its contents, use
XFreeStringList().

cation.
