          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;

     ARGUMENTS
          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.

     DESCRIPTION
          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.

     STRUCTURES
          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;
