19 * Returns a pointer to the workspace with the given number (starting at 0),
20 * creating the workspace if necessary (by allocating the necessary amount of
21 * memory and initializing the data structures correctly).
23 * If created is not NULL, *created will be set to whether or not the

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

81 * Assigns the given workspace to the given screen by correctly updating its

84 * This is called when initializing a screen and when re-assigning it to a

86 * screen 1 and you just plugged in screen 1).
89 void workspace_assign_to(Workspace *ws, Output *screen, bool hide_it);
92 * Initializes the given workspace if it is not already initialized. The given
93 * screen is to be understood as a fallback, if the workspace itself either
94 * was not assigned to a particular screen or cannot be placed there because
95 * the screen is not attached at the moment.

108 * Unmaps all clients (and stack windows) of the given workspace.
110 * This needs to be called separately when temporarily rendering a workspace
111 * which is not the active workspace to force reconfiguration of all clients,
112 * like in src/xinerama.c when re-assigning a workspace to another screen.

125 * Goes through all clients on the given workspace and updates the workspace’s
126 * urgent flag accordingly.

133 * the same orientation as the workspace and then changing the workspace
137 void ws_force_orientation(Con *ws, orientation_t orientation);
140 * Called when a new con (with a window, not an empty or split con) should be
141 * attached to the workspace (for example when managing a new window or when
142 * moving an existing window to the workspace level).
144 * Depending on the workspace_layout setting, this function either returns the
145 * workspace itself (default layout) or creates a new stacked/tabbed con and
