10 '\" The definitions below are for supplemental macros used in Tcl/Tk
13 '\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
14 '\" Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
15 '\" type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
16 '\" or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
17 '\" and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
18 '\" needed; use .AS below instead)
21 '\" Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops. Type and
22 '\" name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
23 '\" to .AP later. If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
26 '\" Start box enclosure. From here until next .BE, everything will be
27 '\" enclosed in one large box.
30 '\" End of box enclosure.
33 '\" Begin code excerpt.
38 '\" .VS ?version? ?br?
39 '\" Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
40 '\" of man pages. The first argument is ignored and used for recording
41 '\" the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
42 '\" found and removed when they reach a certain age. If another argument
43 '\" is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
46 '\" End of vertical sidebar.
49 '\" Begin an indented unfilled display.
52 '\" End of indented unfilled display.
55 '\" Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget. The
56 '\" options follow on successive lines, in four columns separated
60 '\" End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
62 '\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
63 '\" Start of description of a specific option. cmdName gives the
64 '\" option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
65 '\" the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
66 '\" the option's class in the option database.
69 '\" Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.

246 .TH Tk_InternAtom 3 "" Tk "Tk Library Procedures"
249 Tk_InternAtom, Tk_GetAtomName \- manage cache of X atoms
252 \fB#include <tk.h>\fR
255 \fBTk_InternAtom(\fItkwin, name\fR)
258 \fBTk_GetAtomName(\fItkwin, atom\fR)
261 .AP Tk_Window tkwin in
262 Token for window. Used to map atom or name relative to a particular display.
263 .AP "CONST char" *name in
264 String name for which atom is desired.
266 Atom for which corresponding string name is desired.
271 These procedures are similar to the Xlib procedures
272 \fBXInternAtom\fR and \fBXGetAtomName\fR. \fBTk_InternAtom\fR
273 returns the atom identifier associated with string given by
274 \fIname\fR; the atom identifier is only valid for the display
275 associated with \fItkwin\fR.
276 \fBTk_GetAtomName\fR returns the string associated
277 with \fIatom\fR on \fItkwin\fR's display. The string returned
278 by \fBTk_GetAtomName\fR is in Tk's storage: the caller need
279 not free this space when finished with the string, and the caller
280 should not modify the contents of the returned string.
281 If there is no atom \fIatom\fR on \fItkwin\fR's display,
282 then \fBTk_GetAtomName\fR returns the string ``?bad atom?''.
285 the information returned by \fBTk_InternAtom\fR and \fBTk_GetAtomName\fR
287 for the same information can be serviced from the cache without
288 contacting the server. Thus \fBTk_InternAtom\fR and \fBTk_GetAtomName\fR
289 are generally much faster than their Xlib counterparts, and they
290 should be used in place of the Xlib procedures.
