DtWsmGetCurrentWorkspace(3)

NAME
DtWsmGetCurrentWorkspace - get the current workspace

SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h>

Status DtWsmGetCurrentWorkspace(Display *display,
	Window root,
	Atom *paWorkspace);

DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmGetCurrentWorkspace() function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and returns the name of the current workspace (converted to an X atom).

The display argument is the X display.

The root argument is the root window of the screen of interest.

The paWorkspace argument is the address of an atom to receive the current workspace identifier.

RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the DtWsmGetCurrentWorkspace() function returns Success and the atom identifying the current workspace is returned in paWorkspace; otherwise, it returns a value not equal to Success.

APPLICATION USAGE
If the DtWsmGetCurrentWorkspace() function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is not running.
