- XVisualInfo *XGetVisualInfo(Display *display, long vinfo_mask, XVisualInfo *vinfo_template, int *nitems_return);
- Status XMatchVisualInfo(Display *display, int screen, int depth, int class, XVisualInfo *vinfo_return);

ARGUMENTS
- class
- Specifies the class of the screen.
- depth
- Specifies the depth of the screen.
- display
- Specifies the connection to the X server.
- nitems_return
- Returns the number of matching visual structures.
- screen
- Specifies the screen.
- visual
- Specifies the visual type.
- vinfo_mask
- Specifies the visual mask value.
- vinfo_return
- Returns the matched visual information.
- vinfo_template
- Specifies the visual attributes that are to be used in matching the visual structures.
DESCRIPTION
The XGetVisualInfo function returns a list of visual structures that have attributes equal to the attributes specified by vinfo_template. If no visual structures match the template using the specified vinfo_mask, XGetVisualInfo returns a NULL. To free the data returned by this function, use XFree.The XMatchVisualInfo function returns the visual information for a visual that matches the specified depth and class for a screen. Because multiple visuals that match the specified depth and class can exist, the exact visual chosen is undefined. If a visual is found, XMatchVisualInfo returns nonzero and the information on the visual to vinfo_return. Otherwise, when a visual is not found, XMatchVisualInfo returns zero.
The XVisualIDFromVisual function returns the visual ID for the specified visual type.
