used.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
hAtomTbl   Identifies an atom table. This handle must have been created by a
           previous call to the WinCreateAtomTable function.
 
atom       Specifies the atom whose use count is to be returned.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is the use count of the atom. It is 0xFFFF for integer
atoms. If the atom table or atom is invalid, then the return value is zero.
