What is the correct way for a client to determine whether or not the (new) base_width, base_height, and win_gravity components are defined in the XSizeHints structure returned by a call to XGetWMNormalHints()? Should the client look into the supplied_return argument or into the flags component of the XSizeHints? In what way are these two different?

What is the correct way for a client to determine whether or not the
(new) base_width, base_height, and win_gravity components are defined
in the XSizeHints structure returned by a call to XGetWMNormalHints()?
Look at the PBaseSize and PWinGravity bits in the flags.
Should the client look into the supplied_return argument or into the
flags component of the XSizeHints? In what way are these two different?
The sizehints.flags mask indicates which fields are set in the structure. The
supplied_return argument returns the mask of all possible fields which *could*
have been returned for this property. New hints will return all of the
possible flag fields, pre-ICCCM hints will not have PBaseSize or PWinGravity
set.
