[comp.windows.x] Better XGetGeometry Documentation

jdn@mas1.UUCP (Jeff Nisewanger) (05/15/89)

	I was just noticing that the return value from
XGetGeometry is not documented in the X11R3 manual page. The Xlib
source code returns 0 on failure and 1 on success. The
"Introduction To The X Window System" book by Oliver Jones
says that it returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure.

    I was just noticing that the return value from
    XGetGeometry is not documented in the X11R3 manual page.

The return is declared Status.  The meaning of Status is described in
Section 1.2.  It was not felt necessary to repeat the definition in every
single function.
