XtConvert(3)		  XT COMPATIBILITY FUNCTIONS		  XtConvert(3)

NAME
       XtConvert, XtDirectConvert - invoke resource converters

SYNTAX
       #include	<X11/Intrinsic.h>

       void XtConvert(Widget w,	const char *from_type, XrmValuePtr from, const
	      char *to_type, XrmValuePtr to_return);

       void  XtDirectConvert(XtConverter converter, XrmValuePtr	args, Cardinal
	      num_args,	XrmValuePtr from, XrmValuePtr to_return);

ARGUMENTS
       args	 Specifies the argument	list that contains the additional  ar-
		 guments needed	to perform the conversion (often NULL).

       converter Specifies the conversion procedure that is to be called.

       from	 Specifies the value to	be converted.

       from_type Specifies the source type.

       num_args	 Specifies the number of additional arguments (often zero).

       to_type	 Specifies the destination type.

       to_return Returns the converted value.

       w	 Specifies  the	widget to use for additional arguments (if any
		 are needed).

DESCRIPTION
       The XtConvert function looks up the type	converter registered  to  con-
       vert  from_type	to  to_type, computes any additional arguments needed,
       and then	calls XtDirectConvert.	XtConvert has been replaced by	XtCon-
       vertAndStore.

       The  XtDirectConvert  function  looks  in the converter cache to	see if
       this conversion procedure has been called with the specified arguments.
       If so, it returns a descriptor for information  stored  in  the	cache;
       otherwise, it calls the converter and enters the	result in the cache.

       Before calling the specified converter, XtDirectConvert sets the	return
       value  size to zero and the return value	address	to NULL.  To determine
       if the conversion was successful, the client should check to_return.ad-
       dress for non-NULL.  XtDirectConvert has	been  replaced	by  XtCallCon-
       verter.
