XResourceManagerString(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XResourceManagerString(3)
NAME
XResourceManagerString, XScreenResourceString - obtain server resource
properties
SYNTAX
char *XResourceManagerString(Display *display);
char *XScreenResourceString(Screen *screen);
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
screen Specifies the screen.
DESCRIPTION
The XResourceManagerString function returns the RESOURCE_MANAGER prop-
erty from the server's root window of screen zero, which was returned
when the connection was opened using XOpenDisplay. The property is con-
verted from type STRING to the current locale. The conversion is iden-
tical to that produced by XmbTextPropertyToTextList for a single element
STRING property. The returned string is owned by Xlib and should not be
freed by the client. The property value must be in a format that is ac-
ceptable to XrmGetStringDatabase. If no property exists, NULL is re-
turned.
The XScreenResourceString function returns the SCREEN_RESOURCES property
from the root window of the specified screen. The property is converted
from type STRING to the current locale. The conversion is identical to
that produced by XmbTextPropertyToTextList for a single element STRING
property. The property value must be in a format that is acceptable to
XrmGetStringDatabase. If no property exists, NULL is returned. The
caller is responsible for freeing the returned string by using XFree.
