XrmPutResource()

NAME

XrmPutResource(), XrmQPutResource(), XrmPutStringResource(), XrmQPutStringResource(), XrmPutLineResource() - store database resources

SYNOPSIS 

void XrmPutResource (XrmDatabase *database, char *specifier,
					 char *type, XrmValue *value)
void XrmQPutResource (XrmDatabase *database,
					XrmBindingList bindings,
					XrmQuarkList quarks,
					XrmRepresentation type,
					XrmValue *value)
void XrmPutStringResource (XrmDatabase *database, char *specifier,
						 char *value)
void XrmQPutStringResource (XrmDatabase *database,
							XrmBindingList bindings,
							XrmQuarkList quarks, char *value)
void XrmPutLineResource (XrmDatabase *database, char *line)

ARGUMENTS

bindings
Specifies a list of bindings.
database
Specifies the resource database.
line
Specifies the resource name and value pair as a single string.
quarks
Specifies the complete or partial name or the class list of the resource.
specifier
Specifies a complete or partial specification of the resource.
type
Specifies the type of the resource.
value
Specifies the value of the resource, which is specified as a string.

DESCRIPTION

If database contains NULL, XrmPutResource(3) creates a new database and returns a pointer to it. XrmPutResource(3) is a convenience function that calls XrmStringToBindingQuarkList(3) followed by:

XrmQPutResource(database, bindings, quarks, XrmStringToQuark(type), value)
If the specifier and type are not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the result is implementation dependent. The value is stored in the database without modification.

If database contains NULL, XrmQPutResource(3) creates a new database and returns a pointer to it. If a resource entry with the identical bindings and quarks already exists in the database, the previous value is replaced by the new specified value. The value is stored in the database without modification.

If database contains NULL, XrmPutStringResource(3) creates a new database and returns a pointer to it. XrmPutStringResource(3) adds a resource with the specified value to the specified database. XrmPutStringResource(3) is a convenience function that first calls XrmStringToBindingQuarkList(3) on the specifier and then calls XrmQPutResource(3), using a ``String'' representation type. If the specifier is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the result is implementation dependent. The value is stored in the database without modification.

If database contains NULL, XrmQPutStringResource creates a new database and returns a pointer to it. XrmQPutStringResource is a convenience routine that constructs an XrmValue for the value string (by calling strlen() to compute the size) and then calls XrmQPutResource(3), using a ``String'' representation type. The value is stored in the database without modification.

If database contains NULL, XrmPutLineResource(3) creates a new database and returns a pointer to it. XrmPutLineResource(3) adds a single resource entry to the specified database. The line must be in valid ResourceLine format (see section 15.1). The string is parsed in the locale of the database. If the ResourceName is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the result is implementation dependent. Note that comment lines are not stored.
