XSetWMName, XGetWMName,
XStoreName, XFetchName - set or read a window's WM_NAME property 
- void
XSetWMName(Display *display, Window w, XTextProperty 
- *text_prop);  
- Status
XGetWMName(Display *display, Window w, 
- XTextProperty *text_prop_return);
 
- int XStoreName(Display *display, Window w, char 
- *window_name);  
- Status
XFetchName(Display *display, Window w, char 
- **window_name_return);  
- display
- Specifies
the connection to the X server. 
- text_prop
- Specifies the XTextProperty   structure
to be used. 
- text_prop_return
- Returns the XTextProperty   structure. 
- w
- Specifies
the window. 
- window_name
- Specifies the window name, which should be a null-terminated
string. 
- window_name_return
- Returns the window name, which is a null-terminated
string. 
The XSetWMName   convenience function calls XSetTextProperty
  to set the WM_NAME property.
The XGetWMName   convenience function calls
XGetTextProperty   to obtain the WM_NAME property. It returns a nonzero
status on success; otherwise, it returns a zero status. 
The XStoreName 
 function assigns the name passed to window_name to the specified window.
A window manager can display the window name in some prominent place, such
as the title bar, to allow users to identify windows easily. Some window
managers may display a window's name in the window's icon, although they
are encouraged to use the window's icon name if one is provided by the application.
If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result
is implementation-dependent. 
XStoreName   can generate BadAlloc   and BadWindow
  errors. 
The XFetchName   function returns the name of the specified window.
If it succeeds, it returns a nonzero status;  otherwise, no name has been
set for the window, and it returns zero. If the WM_NAME property has not
been set for this window, XFetchName   sets window_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-dependent. When finished with it, a client must
free the window name string using XFree.   
XFetchName   can generate a BadWindow
  error. 
- WM_NAME 
- The name of the application. 
- 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.
