Gets a window property

Gets the specified property from the specified window. Properties are for example the window title (WM_NAME) or its minimum size (WM_NORMAL_HINTS). Protocols such as EWMH also use properties - for example EWMH defines the window title, encoded as UTF-8 string, in the _NET_WM_NAME property.

TODO: talk about type

TODO: talk about delete

TODO: talk about the offset/length thing. what's a valid use case?

parameters:

  • c: The connection object to the server

  • delete: Whether the property should actually be deleted. For deleting a property, the specified type has to match the actual property type.

  • window: The window whose property you want to get.

  • property: The property you want to get (an atom).

  • type: The type of the property you want to get (an atom).

  • long_offset: Specifies the offset (in 32-bit multiples) in the specified property where the data is to be retrieved.

  • long_length: Specifies how many 32-bit multiples of data should be retrieved (e.g. if you set long_length to 4, you will receive 16 bytes of data).
