NAME

XpGetOneAttribute - Gets a single print attribute from the specified print context.

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lXp [ library... ]

#include <X11/extensions/Print.h>

char *XpGetOneAttribute ( display, context, type, attribute_name )

      Display *display;

      XPContext context;

      XPAttributes type;

      char *attribute_name;

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.
attribute_name: The name of the attribute to be returned.

DESCRIPTION

This request returns a COMPOUND_TEXT string attribute_value, else NULL if any errors occurred. XpGetOneAttribute is a variation of XpGetAttributes to get a single attribute value from an attribute pool. Unlike XpGetAttributes, where the reply contains an entire attribute pool, XpGetOneAttribute returns just one attribute_value. attribute_name should not include a colon. The caller is expected to free the attribute value returned using XFree.

DIAGNOSTICS

BadAlloc: Insufficient memory.
BadValue: The value specified for type is not valid.
XPBadContext: The specified print context-id is not valid.
