22 * If created is not NULL, *created will be set to whether or not the

29 * Returns a pointer to a new workspace in the given output. The workspace

38 * Sets the name (or just its number) for the given workspace. This has to

106 * Assigns the given workspace to the given screen by correctly updating its
107 * state and reconfiguring all the clients on this workspace.
109 * This is called when initializing a screen and when re-assigning it to a
110 * different screen which just got available (if you configured it to be on
111 * screen 1 and you just plugged in screen 1).

119 * was not assigned to a particular screen or cannot be placed there because
120 * the screen is not attached at the moment.

158 * the same orientation as the workspace and then changing the workspace

166 * attached to the workspace (for example when managing a new window or when
167 * moving an existing window to the workspace level).
169 * Depending on the workspace_layout setting, this function either returns the
170 * workspace itself (default layout) or creates a new stacked/tabbed con and
