.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
This request returns a COMPOUND_TEXT string attribute_value, else NULL if any
errors occurred.
XpGetOneAttribute is a variation of XpGetAttributes to get a single attribute
value from an attribute pool. Unlike XpGetAttributes, where the reply contains
an entire attribute pool, XpGetOneAttribute returns just one attribute_value.
attribute_name should not include a colon. The caller is expected to free the
attribute value returned using XFree.
