Function xcb::ffi::xproto::xcb_intern_atom

pub unsafe extern "C" fn xcb_intern_atom(
    c: *mut xcb_connection_t, 
    only_if_exists: u8, 
    name_len: u16, 
    name: *const c_char
) -> xcb_intern_atom_cookie_t

Get atom identifier by name

Retrieves the identifier (xcb_atom_t TODO) for the atom with the specified name. Atoms are used in protocols like EWMH, for example to store window titles (_NET_WM_NAME atom) as property of a window.

If only_if_exists is 0, the atom will be created if it does not already exist. If only_if_exists is 1, XCB_ATOM_NONE will be returned if the atom does not yet exist.
