DESCRIPTION

       The XmbTextListToTextProperty, XwcTextListToTextProperty and
       introduced in XFree86 4.0.2. Its presence is indicated by the macro
       X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.)  If the style XTextStyle is specified, this encod-
       ing is the encoding of the current locale.  If the style XStdICC-
       TextStyle is specified, this encoding is ``STRING'' if the text is
       fully convertible to STRING, else ``COMPOUND_TEXT''.  A final terminat-
       ing null byte is stored at the end of the value field of
       text_prop_return but is not included in the nitems member.

       If insufficient memory is available for the new value string, the func-
       tions return XNoMemory.  If the current locale is not supported, the
       functions return XLocaleNotSupported.  In both of these error cases,
       the functions do not set text_prop_return.

       To determine if the functions are guaranteed not to return XLocaleNot-
       Supported, use XSupportsLocale.

       If the supplied text is not fully convertible to the specified encod-
       ing, the functions return the number of unconvertible characters.  Each
       unconvertible character is converted to an implementation-defined and
       encoding-specific default string.  Otherwise, the functions return Suc-
       cess.  Note that full convertibility to all styles except XStringStyle
       is guaranteed.

       To free the storage for the value field, use XFree.

       The XmbTextPropertyToTextList, XwcTextPropertyToTextList and
       Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList functions return a list of text strings
       representing the null-separated elements of the specified XTextProperty
       structure. The returned strings are encoded using the current locale
       encoding (for XmbTextPropertyToTextList and XwcTextPropertyToTextList)
       or in UTF-8 (for Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList).  The data in text_prop
       must be format 8.

       Multiple elements of the property (for example, the strings in a dis-
       joint text selection) are separated by a null byte.  The contents of
       the property are not required to be null-terminated; any terminating
       null should not be included in text_prop.nitems.

       If insufficient memory is available for the list and its elements, Xmb-
       TextPropertyToTextList, XwcTextPropertyToTextList and Xutf8TextProper-
       tyToTextList return XNoMemory.  If the current locale is not supported,
       the functions return XLocaleNotSupported.  Otherwise, if the encoding
       field of text_prop is not convertible to the encoding of the current
       locale, the functions return XConverterNotFound.  For supported
       locales, existence of a converter from COMPOUND_TEXT, STRING,
       UTF8_STRING or the encoding of the current locale is guaranteed if
       XSupportsLocale returns True for the current locale (but the actual
       text may contain unconvertible characters).  Conversion of other encod-
       ings is implementation-dependent.  In all of these error cases, the
       functions do not set any return values.

       Otherwise, XmbTextPropertyToTextList, XwcTextPropertyToTextList and
       returned by XwcTextPropertyToTextList, use XwcFreeStringList.

       The XwcFreeStringList function frees memory allocated by XwcTextProper-
       tyToTextList.

       The XDefaultString function returns the default string used by Xlib for
       text conversion (for example, in XmbTextPropertyToTextList).  The
       default string is the string in the current locale that is output when
       an unconvertible character is found during text conversion.  If the
       string returned by XDefaultString is the empty string (""), no charac-
       ter is output in the converted text.  XDefaultString does not return
       NULL.

       The string returned by XDefaultString is independent of the default
       string for text drawing; see XCreateFontSet to obtain the default
       string for an XFontSet.

       The behavior when an invalid codepoint is supplied to any Xlib function
       is undefined.

       The returned string is null-terminated.  It is owned by Xlib and should
       not be modified or freed by the client.  It may be freed after the cur-
       rent locale is changed.  Until freed, it will not be modified by Xlib.

       The functions Xutf8TextListToTextProperty and Xutf8TextPropertyTo-
       TextList are an XFree86 extension introduced in XFree86 4.0.2. Their
       presence is indicated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.

STRUCTURES

       The XTextProperty structure contains:

       typedef struct {
            unsigned char *value;/* property data */
            Atom encoding;      /* type of property */
            int format;         /* 8, 16, or 32 */
            unsigned long nitems;/* number of items in value */
       } XTextProperty;

       The XICCEncodingStyle structure contains:


       #define   XNoMemory              -1
       #define   XLocaleNotSupported    -2
       #define   XConverterNotFound     -3
       typedef enum {
            XStringStyle,       /* STRING */
            XCompoundTextStyle, /* COMPOUND_TEXT */
            XTextStyle,         /* text in owner's encoding (current locale) */
            XStdICCTextStyle,   /* STRING, else COMPOUND_TEXT */
            XUTF8StringStyle    /* UTF8_STRING */
       } XICCEncodingStyle;
