       XmInternAtom — A macro that returns an atom for a given name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/AtomMgr.h>
       Atom XmInternAtom(
       Display * display,
       String name,
       Boolean only_if_exists);

DESCRIPTION

       XmInternAtom  returns  an  atom  for  a  given name.  The returned atom
       remains defined even after the client’s connection closes. The returned
       atom becomes undefined when the last connection to the X server closes.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server

       name      Specifies  the  name  associated  with  the  atom  you   want
                 returned.  The value of name is case dependent.

       only_if_exists
                 Specifies  a  Boolean  value.   If False, the atom is created
                 even if it does not  exist.   (If  it  does  not  exist,  the
                 returned  atom  will  be None.)  If True, the atom is created
                 only if it exists.

RETURN

       Returns an atom.
