Get_XInfo(4)
CDE
NAME
  Get_XInfo - get a tool's X11 attributes

SYNOPSIS
  Get_XInfo(out string display,
	  out string visual,
	  out integer depth
	  [in messageID commission]);

DESCRIPTION
  The Get_XInfo request reports the X11 attributes of the optionally
  specified window, or of the window primarily associated with the recipient
  procid (if no window is specified).

  The display argument is an X11 display.

  The visual argument is an X11 visual class (which determines how a pixel
  will be displayed as a color). Valid values are:

  DirectColor	PseudoColor   StaticGray
  GrayScale	StaticColor   TrueColor

  The depth argument is the number of bits in a pixel.

  The commission argument is the ID of the ongoing request with respect to
  which X11 attributes are being set or reported.

APPLICATION USAGE
  The ttdt_session_join(3), and ttdt_message_accept(3), functions can be used
  by Xt applications to register for, and transparently process, the
  Get_XInfo request. Also, Get_XInfo can be sent by
  ttdt_sender_imprint_on(3).

  Since the handler may be running on a different host, it is almost always
  better to return a display value of hostname:n[.n] instead of :n[.n]).

  The commission argument is useful to the extent that the handler employs
  different attributes for the different operations it may be carrying out.

EXAMPLES
  The Get_XInfo request can be sent as in the following example:

       Tt_message msg = tttk_message_create(0, TT_REQUEST, TT_SESSION,
				the_recipient_procid, TTDT_GET_XINFO,
				my_callback);
       tt_message_arg_add(msg, TT_OUT, Tttk_string, 0);
       tt_message_arg_add(msg, TT_OUT, Tttk_string, 0);
       tt_message_iarg_add(msg, TT_OUT, Tttk_integer, 0);
       tt_message_send(msg);
