SERVER_ATOM
SERVER_ATOM
is equivalent to XInternAtom() (with the only_if_exists flag set to FALSE)
except that it caches the results on the server object so that subsequent requests for the same atom will
not require a round-trip to the X server.
Return Type: Atom
Procs: get
Usage:
Atom atom;
atom = (Atom) xv_get(server_object,
SERVER_ATOM, "TIMESTAMP");
