ARGUMENTS

   display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

   screen_number
             Specifies the appropriate screen number on the host server.

   count_return
             Returns the number of depths.

DESCRIPTION

   The AllPlanes macro returns a value with all bits set to 1 suitable for
   use in a plane argument to a procedure.

   The BlackPixel macro returns the black pixel value for the specified
   screen.

   The WhitePixel macro returns the white pixel value for the specified
   screen.

   The ConnectionNumber macro returns a connection number for the
   specified display.

   The DefaultColormap macro returns the default colormap ID for
   allocation on the specified screen.

   The DefaultDepth macro returns the depth (number of planes) of the
   default root window for the specified screen.

   The XListDepths function returns the array of depths that are available
   on the specified screen.  If the specified screen_number is valid and
   sufficient memory for the array can be allocated, XListDepths sets
   count_return to the number of available depths.  Otherwise, it does not
   set count_return and returns NULL.  To release the memory allocated for
   the array of depths, use XFree.

   The DefaultGC macro returns the default GC for the root window of the
   specified screen.

   The DefaultRootWindow macro returns the root window for the default
   screen.

   The DefaultScreenOfDisplay macro returns the default screen of the
   specified display.

   The DefaultScreen macro returns the default screen number referenced in
   the XOpenDisplay routine.

   The DefaultVisual macro returns the default visual type for the
   specified screen.

   The DisplayCells macro returns the number of entries in the default
   colormap.

   The DisplayPlanes macro returns the depth of the root window of the
   specified screen.

   The DisplayString macro returns the string that was passed to
   XOpenDisplay when the current display was opened.

   The XMaxRequestSize function returns the maximum request size (in
   4-byte units) supported by the server without using an extended-length
   protocol encoding.  Single protocol requests to the server can be no
   larger than this size unless an extended-length protocol encoding is
   supported by the server.  The protocol guarantees the size to be no
   smaller than 4096 units (16384 bytes).  Xlib automatically breaks data
   up into multiple protocol requests as necessary for the following
   functions: XDrawPoints, XDrawRectangles, XDrawSegments, XFillArcs,
   XFillRectangles, and XPutImage.

   The XExtendedMaxRequestSize function returns zero if the specified
   display does not support an extended-length protocol encoding;
   otherwise, it returns the maximum request size (in 4-byte units)
   supported by the server using the extended-length encoding.  The Xlib
   functions XDrawLines, XDrawArcs, XFillPolygon, XChangeProperty,
   XSetClipRectangles, and XSetRegion will use the extended-length
   encoding as necessary, if supported by the server.  Use of the
   extended-length encoding in other Xlib functions (for example,
   XDrawPoints, XDrawRectangles, XDrawSegments, XFillArcs,
   XFillRectangles, XPutImage) is permitted but not required; an Xlib
   implementation may choose to split the data across multiple smaller
   requests instead.

   The LastKnownRequestProcessed macro extracts the full serial number of
   the last request known by Xlib to have been processed by the X server.

   The NextRequest macro extracts the full serial number that is to be
   used for the next request.

   The ProtocolVersion macro returns the major version number (11) of the
   X protocol associated with the connected display.

   The ProtocolRevision macro returns the minor protocol revision number
   of the X server.

   The QLength macro returns the length of the event queue for the
   connected display.

   The RootWindow macro returns the root window.

   The ScreenCount macro returns the number of available screens.

   The ScreenOfDisplay macro returns a pointer to the screen of the
   specified display.

   The ServerVendor macro returns a pointer to a null-terminated string
   that provides some identification of the owner of the X server
   implementation.

   The VendorRelease macro returns a number related to a vendor's release
   of the X server.
