DESCRIPTION
       The XSetWMIconName convenience function calls XSetTextProperty to set the WM_ICON_NAME property.

       The XGetWMIconName convenience function calls XGetTextProperty to obtain the WM_ICON_NAME property.
       It returns a nonzero status on success; otherwise, it returns a zero status.

       The XSetIconName function sets the name to be displayed in a window's icon.

       XSetIconName can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow errors.

       The XGetIconName function returns the name to be displayed in the specified window's icon.  If it
       succeeds, it returns a nonzero status; otherwise, if no icon name has been set for the window, it
       returns zero.  If you never assigned a name to the window, XGetIconName sets icon_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. implementationdependent.

       XGetIconName can generate a BadWindow error.
