Description

The XGetWMNormalHints() function returns the size hints stored in the WM_NORMAL_HINTS property on the specified window. If the property is of type WM_SIZE_HINTS, is of format 32, and is long enough to contain either an old (pre-XSizeHints structure, sets the supplied_return argument to the list of fields that were supplied by the user (whether or not they contained defined values), and returns a nonzero status. Otherwise, it returns a zero status.

If XGetWMNormalHints() returns successfully and a pre-XAllocClassHint(), XAllocIconSize(), XAllocSizeHints(), XAllocWMHints(), XFree(), XGetWMSizeHints(), XSetCommand(), XSetTextProperty(), XSetTransientForHint(), XSetWMClientMachine(), XSetWMColormapWindows(), XSetWMIconName(), XSetWMName(), XSetWMNormalHints(), XSetWMProperties(), XSetWMProtocols(), XSetWMSizeHints(), XStringListToTextProperty(), "Setting and Reading the WM_NORMAL_HINTS Property".
