+.TH DMXGetScreenCount 3X __vendorversion__
+.SH NAME
+DMXGetScreenCount \- determine number of back-end screens
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>
+.sp
+.nf
+.BI "Bool DMXGetScreenCount(Display " *dpy ,
+.BI " int " *screen_count );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B DMXGetScreenCount()
+returns the number of back-end screens that a
+.BR Xdmx (1)
+server controls. Since a DMX screen usually fills all of the available
+area on a back-end server, there is usually a one-to-one correspondence
+between DMX screens and backend servers. However, it is also possible
+for a DMX screen to cover only part of the available area on a back-end
+server, and for more than one DMX screens to occupy different parts of
+the visible area on the same back-end server.
+.PP
+A DMX screen may be managed as a regular X screen in the
+.BR Xdmx (1)
+server or may be joined with other DMX screens using Xinerama.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.B DMXGetScreenCount()
+sets
+.I screen_count
+and returns
+.B True
+unless there is a protocol error.
+.SH NOTES
+If Xinerama is active, only one logical screen will be available to
+clients of the
+.BR Xdmx (1)
+server. However, this call will accurately reflect the number of
+composite back-end screens that the
+.BR Xdmx (1)
+server is using.
