       atom_name string.  If only_if_exists is the atom is created if it does
       not exist.  Therefore, can return If the atom name is not in the Host
       Portable Character Encoding the result is implementation dependent.
       Case matters; the strings thing, Thing, and thinG all designate differ‐
       ent atoms.  The atom will remain defined even after the client's con‐
       nection closes.	It will become undefined only when the last connection
       to the X server closes.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.

       A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.

       Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the
       request.
		 Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the
		 full range defined by the argument's type is accepted.	 Any
		 argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
		 error.
