XStringListToTextProperty,
XTextPropertyToStringList, XFreeStringList, XTextProperty - convert string
lists and text property structure 
Status XStringListToTextProperty(list,
count, text_prop_return) 
      char **list;
 
      int count;
 
      XTextProperty *text_prop_return;
 
Status XTextPropertyToStringList(text_prop, list_return, count_return)
       XTextProperty *text_prop;
 
       char ***list_return;
 
       int *count_return;
 
void XFreeStringList(list)
 
      char **list;
 
- count
- Specifies the number of strings. 
- count_return
- Returns the
number of strings. 
- list
- Specifies the list of strings to be freed. 
- list
- Specifies
a list of null-terminated character strings. 
- list_return
- Returns a list of
null-terminated character strings. 
- text_prop
- Specifies the XTextProperty 
 structure to be used. 
- text_prop_return
- Returns the XTextProperty   structure.
The  XStringListToTextProperty   function sets the specified
 XTextProperty   to be of type STRING (format 8) with a value representing
the concatenation of the specified list of null-separated character strings.
An extra null byte (which is not included in the nitems member)  is stored
at the end of the value field of text_prop_return. The strings are assumed
(without verification) to be in the STRING encoding. If insufficient memory
is available for the new value string,  XStringListToTextProperty   does
not set any fields in the XTextProperty   structure and returns a zero
status. Otherwise, it returns a nonzero status. To free the storage for the
value field, use  XFree.
The  XTextPropertyToStringList   function returns
a list of strings representing the null-separated elements  of the specified
XTextProperty   structure. The data in text_prop must be of type STRING
and format 8.  Multiple elements of the property  (for example, the strings
in a disjoint text selection)  are separated by NULL (encoding 0). The contents
of the property are not null-terminated. If insufficient memory is available
for the list and its elements,  XTextPropertyToStringList   sets no return
values and returns a zero status. Otherwise, it returns a nonzero status.
To free the storage for the list and its contents, use  XFreeStringList.
  
The  XFreeStringList   function releases memory allocated by  XmbTextPropertyToTextList
  and XTextPropertyToStringList   and the missing charset list allocated
by  XCreateFontSet.   
The XTextProperty   structure contains:
typedef struct {
    unsigned char *value;    /* property data */
    Atom encoding;    /* type of property */
    int format;    /* 8, 16, or 32 */
    unsigned long nitems;    /* number of items in value */
} XTextProperty;
