ARGUMENTS
Returns the binding list. Specifies the quark for which the equivalent
string is desired. Returns the list of quarks. Specifies the string
for which a quark or quark list is to be allocated.
DESCRIPTION
The XrmUniqueQuark function allocates a quark that is guaranteed not to
represent any string that is known to the resource manager.
These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representa‐
tion. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the conversion is implementation dependent. The string argument to Xrm‐
StringToQuark need not be permanently allocated storage. XrmPermString‐
ToQuark is just like XrmStringToQuark, except that Xlib is permitted to
assume the string argument is permanently allocated, and, hence, that
it can be used as the value to be returned by XrmQuarkToString.
For any given quark, if XrmStringToQuark returns a non-NULL value, all
future calls will return the same value (identical address).
These functions can be used to convert from quark representation to
string. The string pointed to by the return value must not be modified
or freed. The returned string is byte-for-byte equal to the original
string passed to one of the string-to-quark routines. If no string
exists for that quark, XrmQuarkToString returns NULL. For any given
quark, if XrmQuarkToString returns a non-NULL value, all future calls
will return the same value (identical address).
These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representa‐
tion. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the conversion is implementation dependent. The string argument to Xrm‐
StringToQuark need not be permanently allocated storage. XrmPermString‐
ToQuark is just like XrmStringToQuark, except that Xlib is permitted to
assume the string argument is permanently allocated, and, hence, that
it can be used as the value to be returned by XrmQuarkToString.
For any given quark, if XrmStringToQuark returns a non-NULL value, all
future calls will return the same value (identical address).
The XrmStringToQuarkList function converts the null-terminated string
(generally a fully qualified name) to a list of quarks. Note that the
string must be in the valid ResourceName format (see section 15.1). If
the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the conver‐
sion is implementation dependent.
A binding list is a list of type XrmBindingList and indicates if compo‐
nents of name or class lists are bound tightly or loosely (that is, if
wildcarding of intermediate components is specified).
typedef enum {XrmBindTightly, XrmBindLoosely} XrmBinding, *XrmBind‐
ingList;
XrmBindTightly indicates that a period separates the components, and
XrmBindLoosely indicates that an asterisk separates the components.
The XrmStringToBindingQuarkList function converts the specified string
to a binding list and a quark list. If the string is not in the Host
Portable Character Encoding the conversion is implementation dependent.
Component names in the list are separated by a period or an asterisk
character. If the string does not start with period or asterisk, a
period is assumed. For example, “*a.b*c” becomes:
quarks a b c bindings loose tight loose
