XrmPutResource(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XrmPutResource(3)
NAME
XrmPutResource, XrmQPutResource, XrmPutStringResource, XrmQPutStringRe-
source, XrmPutLineResource - store database resources
SYNTAX
#include <X11/Xresource.h>
void XrmPutResource(XrmDatabase *database, char *specifier, char *type,
XrmValue *value);
void XrmQPutResource(XrmDatabase *database, XrmBindingList bindings, Xr-
mQuarkList quarks, XrmRepresentation type, XrmValue *value);
void XrmPutStringResource(XrmDatabase *database, _Xconst char *speci-
fier, _Xconst char *value);
void XrmQPutStringResource(XrmDatabase *database, XrmBindingList bind-
ings, XrmQuarkList quarks, _Xconst char *value);
void XrmPutLineResource(XrmDatabase *database, _Xconst char *line);
ARGUMENTS
bindings Specifies a list of bindings.
database Specifies the resource database.
line Specifies the resource name and value pair as a single string.
quarks Specifies the complete or partial name or the class list of
the resource.
specifier Specifies a complete or partial specification of the resource.
type Specifies the type of the resource.
value Specifies the value of the resource, which is specified as a
string.
DESCRIPTION
If database contains NULL, XrmPutResource creates a new database and re-
turns a pointer to it. XrmPutResource is a convenience function that
calls XrmStringToBindingQuarkList followed by:
XrmQPutResource(database, bindings, quarks, XrmStringToQuark(type), value)
If the specifier and type are not in the Host Portable Character Encod-
ing, the result is implementation-dependent. The value is stored in the
database without modification.
If database contains NULL, XrmQPutResource creates a new database and
returns a pointer to it. If a resource entry with the identical bind-
ings and quarks already exists in the database, the previous type and
value are replaced by the new specified type and value. The value is
stored in the database without modification.
If database contains NULL, XrmPutStringResource creates a new database
and returns a pointer to it. XrmPutStringResource adds a resource with
the specified value to the specified database. XrmPutStringResource is
a convenience function that first calls XrmStringToBindingQuarkList on
the specifier and then calls XrmQPutResource, using a “String” represen-
tation type. If the specifier is not in the Host Portable Character En-
coding, the result is implementation-dependent. The value is stored in
the database without modification.
If database contains NULL, XrmQPutStringResource creates a new database
and returns a pointer to it. XrmQPutStringResource is a convenience
routine that constructs an XrmValue for the value string (by calling
strlen to compute the size) and then calls XrmQPutResource, using a
“String” representation type. The value is stored in the database with-
out modification.
If database contains NULL, XrmPutLineResource creates a new database and
returns a pointer to it. XrmPutLineResource adds a single resource en-
try to the specified database. The line should be in valid ResourceLine
format (see section 15.1) terminated by a newline or null character; the
database that results from using a string with incorrect syntax is im-
plementation-dependent. The string is parsed in the locale of the data-
base. If the ResourceName is not in the Host Portable Character Encod-
ing, the result is implementation-dependent. Note that comment lines
are not stored.
