XrmInitialize(3)		XLIB FUNCTIONS		      XrmInitialize(3)

NAME
       XrmInitialize,  XrmParseCommand,	 XrmValue, XrmOptionKind, XrmOptionDe-
       scRec - initialize the Resource Manager,	Resource  Manager  structures,
       and parse the command line

SYNTAX

       #include	<X11/Xresource.h>

       void XrmInitialize(void);

       void  XrmParseCommand(XrmDatabase  *database,  XrmOptionDescList	table,
	      int table_count, _Xconst	char  *name,  int  *argc_in_out,  char
	      **argv_in_out);

ARGUMENTS
       argc_in_out
		 Specifies  the	 number	of arguments and returns the number of
		 remaining arguments.

       argv_in_out
		 Specifies the command line arguments and returns the  remain-
		 ing arguments.

       database	 Specifies the resource	database.

       name	 Specifies the application name.

       table	 Specifies the table of	command	line arguments to be parsed.

       table_count
		 Specifies the number of entries in the	table.

DESCRIPTION
       The XrmInitialize function initialize the resource manager.  It must be
       called before any other Xrm functions are used.

       The  XrmParseCommand  function parses an	(argc, argv) pair according to
       the specified option table, loads recognized options into the specified
       database	with type "String," and	modifies the (argc, argv) pair to  re-
       move  all  recognized options.  If database contains NULL, XrmParseCom-
       mand creates a new database and returns a pointer  to  it.   Otherwise,
       entries are added to the	database specified.  If	a database is created,
       it is created in	the current locale.

       The  specified table is used to parse the command line.	Recognized op-
       tions in	the table are removed from argv, and entries are added to  the
       specified resource database in the order	they occur in argv.  The table
       entries	contain	information on the option string, the option name, the
       style of	option,	and a value to provide if the option  kind  is	Xrmop-
       tionNoArg.  The option names are	compared byte-for-byte to arguments in
       argv,  independent of any locale.  The resource values given in the ta-
       ble are stored in the resource database without modification.  All  re-
       source  database	 entries  are  created using a "String"	representation
       type.  The argc argument	specifies the number of	arguments in argv  and
       is  set	on  return  to the remaining number of arguments that were not
       parsed.	The name argument should be the	name of	your  application  for
       use  in	building the database entry.  The name argument	is prefixed to
       the resourceName	in the option table before storing a  database	entry.
       The  name argument is treated as	a single component, even if it has em-
       bedded periods.	No separating (binding)	character is inserted, so  the
       table  must contain either a period (.) or an asterisk (*) as the first
       character in each resourceName entry.  To  specify  a  more  completely
       qualified  resource  name,  the resourceName entry can contain multiple
       components.  If the name	argument and the resourceNames are not in  the
       Host  Portable  Character Encoding, the result is implementation-depen-
       dent.

STRUCTURES
       The XrmValue, XrmOptionKind, and	XrmOptionDescRec structures contain:

       typedef struct {
	       unsigned	int size;
	       XPointer	addr;
       } XrmValue, *XrmValuePtr;

       typedef enum {
	       XrmoptionNoArg, /* Value	is specified in	XrmOptionDescRec.value */
	       XrmoptionIsArg, /* Value	is the option string itself */
	       XrmoptionStickyArg,     /* Value	is characters immediately following option */
	       XrmoptionSepArg,	       /* Value	is next	argument in argv */
	       XrmoptionResArg,	       /* Resource and value in	next argument in argv */
	       XrmoptionSkipArg,       /* Ignore this option and the next argument in argv */
	       XrmoptionSkipLine,      /* Ignore this option and the rest of argv */
	       XrmoptionSkipNArgs      /* Ignore this option and the next
			  XrmOptionDescRec.value arguments in argv */
       } XrmOptionKind;

       typedef struct {
	       char *option;   /* Option specification string in argv			 */
	       char *specifier;	       /* Binding and resource name (sans application name)    */
	       XrmOptionKind argKind;  /* Which	style of option	it is		 */
	       XPointer	value; /* Value	to provide if XrmoptionNoArg or
			  XrmoptionSkipNArgs   */
       } XrmOptionDescRec, *XrmOptionDescList;
