# X11::XCB::Atom(3pm)

wraps an X11 atom

## NAME

X11::XCB::Atom - wraps an X11 atom

## METHODS

### exists

Returns whether this atom actually exists. If the id of the atom has not been requested before, this generates a round-trip to the x server. This is very likely, as **id()** dies if the atom does not exist.
