DESCRIPTION
XineramaGetInfo returns the number of physical screens
(frame buffers) and their geometry, for the Xinerama screen
screen_number on the specified display connection dpy.
It is the client task to free the resulting rectangle list,
using XFree.
The return status is True for no errors, False otherwise.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc
The server failed to allocate the requested resource or
server memory.
BadValue
screen_number is out of range.
NOTES
Currently, all the physical screens managed by the Xinerama
enabled X server are combined into one active Xinerama
screen. This means that screen_number should be 0.
Xinerama is still not an Xorg standard. Thus, the interface

XineramaGetInfo(3X11) X11R6 XineramaGetInfo(3X11)
may still evolve.
XineramaGetInfo is depecrated from IRIX 6.5.15 release. The
new interface is XineramaGetData.
