       Status XGetWMIconName(display, w, text_prop_return)
             Display *display;
             Window w;
             XTextProperty *text_prop_return;

       XSetIconName(display, w, icon_name)
             Display *display;
             Window w;
             char *icon_name;

       Status XGetIconName(display, w, icon_name_return)
             Display *display;
             Window w;
             char **icon_name_return;

ARGUMENTS
       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       icon_name Specifies the icon name, which should be a null-
                 terminated string.

       icon_name_return
                 Returns the window's icon name, which is a null-
                 terminated string.

       text_prop Specifies the XTextProperty structure to be
                 used.

       text_prop_return
                 Returns the XTextProperty structure.

       w         Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION
       The XSetWMIconName convenience function calls XSet-
       TextProperty to set the WM_ICON_NAME property.

       The XGetWMIconName convenience function calls XGet-
       TextProperty 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 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-depen-
       dent.  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.
