The XrmUniqueQuark(3) 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 representation. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the conversion is implementation dependent. The string argument to XrmStringToQuark(3) need not be permanently allocated storage. XrmPermStringToQuark(3) is just like XrmStringToQuark(3), 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(3).
This function 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(3) returns NULL. For any given quark, if XrmQuarkToString(3) 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 representation. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the conversion is implementation dependent. The string argument to XrmStringToQuark(3) need not be permanently allocated storage. XrmPermStringToQuark(3) is just like XrmStringToQuark(3), 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(3).
The XrmStringToQuarkList(3) 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 conversion is implementation dependent.
A binding list is a list of type XrmBindingList and indicates if components of name or class lists are bound tightly or loosely (that is, if wildcarding of intermediate components is specified).
typedef enum {XrmBindTightly, XrmBindLoosely}
XrmBinding, *XrmBindingList;
XrmBindTightly indicates that a period separates the components, and XrmBindLoosely indicates that an asterisk separates the components.
The XrmStringToBindingQuarkList(3) 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:
Xlib
