Xlib Programming Manual: XrmGetResource XrmGetResource Syntax Bool XrmGetResource(database, str_name, str_class, str_type_return, value_return) XrmDatabase database; char *str_name; char *str_class; char **str_type_return; XrmValue *value_return; Arguments database Specifies the database that is to be used. str_name Specifies the fully qualified name of the value being retrieved (as a string). str_class Specifies the fully qualified class of the value being retrieved (as a string). str_type_return Returns the representation type of the destination (as a string). value_return Returns the value in the database. Description The XrmGetResource() function retrieves a resource from the specified database. It takes a fully qualified name/class pair, a destination resource representation, and the address of a value (size/address pair). The value and returned type point into database memory; therefore, you must not modify the data.
