MrmOpenHierarchy(3)	    Library Functions Manual	     MrmOpenHierarchy(3)

NAME
     MrmOpenHierarchy -- Allocates a hierarchy ID and opens all the UID files in
     the hierarchy

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
     Cardinal MrmOpenHierarchy(
     MrmCount num_files,
     String file_names_list[],
     MrmOsOpenParamPtr *ancillary_structures_list,
     MrmHierarchy *hierarchy_id);

DESCRIPTION
     This  routine  is	obsolete  and exists for compatibility with previous re-
     leases. It is replaced by MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay.  MrmOpenHierarchy  is
     identical	to  MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay except that MrmOpenHierarchy does
     not take a display argument.

     num_files Specifies the number of files in the name list.

     file_names_list
	       Specifies an array of character strings	that  identify	the  UID
	       files.

     ancillary_structures_list
	       A  list of operating-system-dependent ancillary structures corre-
	       sponding to items such as filenames, clobber flags, and so forth.
	       This argument should be NULL for most operations.  If you need to
	       reference this structure, see the definition of MrmOsOpenParamPtr
	       in the MrmPublic.h header file for more information.

     hierarchy_id
	       Returns the search hierarchy ID.  The search hierarchy ID identi-
	       fies the list of UID files that MRM searches (in order) when per-
	       forming subsequent fetch calls.

     Each UID file string in file_names_list can specify either a full	pathname
     or  a filename.  If a UID file string has a leading slash (/), it specifies
     a full pathname, and MRM opens the file as specified.  Otherwise,	the  UID
     file  string  specifies  a  filename.  In this case, MRM looks for the file
     along a search path specified by the UIDPATH environment variable or  by  a
     default search path, which varies depending on whether or not the XAPPLRES-
     DIR environment variable is set.

     The UIDPATH environment variable specifies a search path and naming conven-
     tions associated with UID files.  It can contain the substitution field %U,
     where the UID file string from the file_names_list argument to MrmOpenHier-
     archyPerDisplay  is  substituted for %U.  It can also contain the substitu-
     tion fields accepted by XtResolvePathname.  The substitution  field  %T  is
     always  mapped to uid.  The entire path is first searched with %S mapped to
     .uid.  If no file is found, it is searched again with %S mapped to NULL.

     If no display is set prior to calling this function,  the	result	of  this
     function's call to XtResolvePathname is undefined.

     For  example,  the  following UIDPATH value and MrmOpenHierarchy call cause
     MRM to open two separate UID files:

     UIDPATH=/uidlib/%L/%U.uid:/uidlib/%U/%L
       static char *uid_files[] = {"/usr/users/me/test.uid", "test2"};
       MrmHierarchy  *Hierarchy_id;
       MrmOpenHierarchy((MrmCount)2,uid_files, NULL, Hierarchy_id)

     MRM opens the first  file,  /usr/users/me/test.uid,  as  specified  in  the
     file_names_list  argument	to MrmOpenHierarchy, because the UID file string
     in the file_names_list argument specifies a full pathname.  MRM  looks  for
     the  second  file,  test2,  first	as  /uidlib/%L/test2.uid  and  second as
     /uidlib/test2/%L, where the display's language string  is	substituted  for
     %L.

     After  MrmOpenHierarchy  opens  the UID hierarchy, you should not delete or
     modify the UID files until you close the UID hierarchy by calling MrmClose-
     Hierarchy.

     If UIDPATH is not set but the environment variable XAPPLRESDIR is set,  MRM
     searches the following pathnames:

	*  %U%S

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%L/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%l/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%L/uid/%U%S

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/%l/uid/%U%S

	*  $XAPPLRESDIR/uid/%U%S

	*  $HOME/uid/%U%S

	*  $HOME/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/uid/%U%S

	*  /usr/include/X11/uid/%U%S

     If neither UIDPATH nor XAPPLRESDIR is set, MRM searches the following path-
     names:

	*  %U%S

	*  HOME/%L/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  HOME/%l/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  $HOME/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  $HOME/%L/uid/%U%S

	*  $HOME/%l/uid/%U%S

	*  $HOME/uid/%U%S

	*  $HOME/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/uid/%N/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%U%S

	*  /usr/lib/X11/uid/%U%S

	*  /usr/include/X11/uid/%U%S

     These  paths  are	defaults that vendors may change.  For example, a vendor
     may use different directories for /usr/lib/X11 and /usr/include/X11.

     The following substitutions are used in these paths:

     %U        The UID file string, from the file_names_list argument.

     %N        The class name of the application.

     %L        The display's language string.	This  string  is  influenced  by
	       XtSetLanguageProc.   The  default string is determined by calling
	       setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL).

     %l        The language component of the display's language string.

     %S        The suffix to the filename.  The entire path  is  first	searched
	       with a suffix of .uid.  If no file is found, it is searched again
	       with a NULL suffix.

RETURN
     This function returns one of the following status return constants:

     MrmSUCCESSThe function executed successfully.

     MrmNOT_FOUND
	       File not found.

     MrmFAILUREThe function failed.
