XrmMergeDatabases(3)		XLIB FUNCTIONS		  XrmMergeDatabases(3)

NAME
       XrmMergeDatabases,  XrmCombineDatabase,	XrmCombineFileDatabase - merge
       resource	databases

SYNTAX

       #include	<X11/Xresource.h>

       void XrmMergeDatabases(XrmDatabase source_db, XrmDatabase *target_db);

       void XrmCombineDatabase(XrmDatabase source_db, XrmDatabase  *target_db,
	      Bool override);

       Status XrmCombineFileDatabase(_Xconst char *filename, XrmDatabase *tar-
	      get_db, Bool override);

ARGUMENTS
       source_db Specifies the resource	database that is to be merged into the
		 target	database.

       target_db Specifies  the	 resource database into	which the source data-
		 base is to be merged.

       filename	 Specifies the resource	database file name.

       override	 Specifies whether source entries override target ones.

DESCRIPTION
       Calling the XrmMergeDatabases function is  equivalent  to  calling  the
       XrmCombineDatabase function with	an override argument of	True.

       The  XrmCombineDatabase	function  merges  the contents of one database
       into another.  If the same specifier is used for	an entry in both data-
       bases, the entry	in the source_db will replace the entry	 in  the  tar-
       get_db  if  override is True; otherwise,	the entry in source_db is dis-
       carded.	If target_db contains NULL, XrmCombineDatabase	simply	stores
       source_db  in  it.  Otherwise, source_db	is destroyed by	the merge, but
       the database pointed to by target_db is not  destroyed.	 The  database
       entries	are merged without changing values or types, regardless	of the
       locales of the databases.  The locale of	the  target  database  is  not
       modified.

       The  XrmCombineFileDatabase  function merges the	contents of a resource
       file into a database.  If the same specifier is used for	 an  entry  in
       both  the file and the database,	the entry in the file will replace the
       entry in	the database if	override is True; otherwise, the entry in  the
       file  is	 discarded.  The file is parsed	in the current locale.	If the
       file cannot be read, a zero status is returned;	otherwise,  a  nonzero
       status is returned.  If target_db contains NULL,	XrmCombineFileDatabase
       creates	and  returns  a	 new  database to it.  Otherwise, the database
       pointed to by target_db is not destroyed	by the	merge.	 The  database
       entries	are merged without changing values or types, regardless	of the
       locale of the database.	The locale of the target database is not modi-
       fied.
