DESCRIPTION

XmGetAtomName returns the string representation for an atom. It mirrors the Xlib interfaces for atom management but provides client-side caching. When and where caching is provided in Xlib, the routines will become pseudonyms for the Xlib routines.

display
Specifies the connection to the X server

atom
Specifies the atom for the property name you want returned

RETURN

Returns a string. The function allocates space to hold the returned string. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by calling XFree.
