XpGetAttributes(3)

NAME

       XpGetAttributes  - Gets an attribute pool from the specified print con-
       text.

SYNOPSIS

             cc [ flag... ] file... -lXp [ library... ]
             #include <X11/extensions/Print.h>

       char *XpGetAttributes ( display, context, type )
             Display *display;
             XPContext context;
             XPAttributes type;

ARGUMENTS

       display
              Specifies a pointer to  the  Display  structure;  returned  from
              XOpenDisplay.

       context
              The  print  context  from  which  the  attribute  pool  is to be
              retrieved.

       type   Specifies the attribute pool.

DESCRIPTION

       XpGetAttributes returns a pool, a COMPOUND_TEXT resource string  repre-
       senting the attribute pool specified by type. The caller is expected to
       free pool when it is no longer needed using XFree.

       The attribute pool (hence the resource string) consists of  many  name-
       value  pairs (for example, "copy-count: 3"). The syntax of an attribute
       pool is the same as an X resource file (see "Resource File  Syntax"  in
       the Xlib specification).

       Valid  characters  for  each name (left hand side) are derived from the
       Posix which is "a"-"z" and "A"="Z" and"0"-"9" and "_"  and  "-".  Valid
       characters  for  each value (right hand side) are all characters except
       NULL and unescaped NEWLINE, though all predefined values in the X Print
       Service are confined to X Portable Character Set (XPCS) characters. Non
       XPCS values are typically limited to localized  "description"  strings.
       See  XpCreateContext  regarding the locale hint for more information on
       localized values.

       If any errors occur, XpGetAttributes returns NULL.

STRUCTURES

       The values for the  typedef  XPAttributes  in  <X11/extensions/Print.h>
       are:
        #define  XPJobAttr      1 /* get/set */
        #define  XPDocAttr      2 /* get/set */
        #define  XPPageAttr     3 /* get/set-subset of XPDocAttr */
        #define  XPPrinterAttr  4 /* get only (library) */
        #define  XPServerAttr   5 /* get only (library), no context needed */

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Insufficient memory.

       BadValue       The value specified for type is not valid.

       XPBadContext   The specified print context-id is not valid.
