SYNTAX
     XSetSizeHints(display, w, hints, property)

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     hints     Specifies a pointer to the size hints.

     hints_return

DESCRIPTION
     The XSetSizeHints function sets the XSizeHints structure for the named
     property and the specified window.  This is used by XSetNormalHints and
     XSetZoomHints, and can be used to set the value of any property of type
     WM_SIZE_HINTS.  Thus, it may be useful if other properties of that type
     get defined.

     XSetSizeHints can generate BadAlloc, BadAtom, and BadWindow errors.

     XGetSizeHints returns the XSizeHints structure for the named property and
     the specified window.  This is used by XGetNormalHints and XGetZoomHints.
     It also can be used to retrieve the value of any property of type
     WM_SIZE_HINTS.  Thus, it may be useful if other properties of that type
     get defined.  XGetSizeHints returns a nonzero status if a size hint was
     defined or zero otherwise.

     XGetSizeHints can generate BadAtom and BadWindow errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server
               memory.

     BadAtom   A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.

     BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
