The

function returns the name associated with the specified atom.
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.
To free the resulting string,
call
XFree().
XGetAtomName()
can generate a
BadAtom
error.
Diagnostics

defined Atom.
