DESCRIPTION

62       The XrmUniqueQuark function allocates a quark that is guaranteed not to
63       represent any string that is known to the resource manager.
64
65       These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representa‐
66       tion.  If the string is not in the Host  Portable  Character  Encoding,
67       the  conversion  is  implementation-dependent.   The string argument to
68       XrmStringToQuark need  not  be  permanently  allocated  storage.   Xrm‐
69       PermStringToQuark  is  just  like XrmStringToQuark, except that Xlib is
70       permitted to assume the string argument is permanently allocated,  and,
71       hence,  that  it  can  be used as the value to be returned by XrmQuark‐
72       ToString.
73
74       For any given quark, if XrmStringToQuark returns a non-NULL value,  all
75       future calls will return the same value (identical address).
76
77       These  functions  can  be  used to convert from quark representation to
78       string.  The string pointed to by the return value must not be modified
79       or  freed.   The returned string is byte-for-byte equal to the original
80       string passed to one of the string-to-quark routines.  If no string ex‐
81       ists  for  that  quark,  XrmQuarkToString  returns NULL.  For any given
82       quark, if XrmQuarkToString returns a non-NULL value, all  future  calls
83       will return the same value (identical address).
84
85       These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representa‐
86       tion.  If the string is not in the Host  Portable  Character  Encoding,
87       the  conversion  is  implementation-dependent.   The string argument to
88       XrmStringToQuark need  not  be  permanently  allocated  storage.   Xrm‐
89       PermStringToQuark  is  just  like XrmStringToQuark, except that Xlib is
90       permitted to assume the string argument is permanently allocated,  and,
91       hence,  that  it  can  be used as the value to be returned by XrmQuark‐
92       ToString.
93
94       For any given quark, if XrmStringToQuark returns a non-NULL value,  all
95       future calls will return the same value (identical address).
96
97       The  XrmStringToQuarkList  function converts the null-terminated string
98       (generally a fully qualified name) to a list  of  quarks.   The  caller
99       must  allocate sufficient space for the quarks list before calling Xrm‐
100       StringToQuarkList.  Note that the string must be in the valid Resource‐
101       Name  format (see section 15.1).  If the string is not in the Host Por‐
102       table Character Encoding, the conversion is implementation-dependent.
103
104       A binding list is a list of type XrmBindingList and indicates if compo‐
105       nents  of name or class lists are bound tightly or loosely (that is, if
106       wildcarding of intermediate components is specified).
107
108       typedef enum {XrmBindTightly, XrmBindLoosely} XrmBinding, *XrmBindingList;
109
110       XrmBindTightly indicates that a period separates  the  components,  and
111       XrmBindLoosely indicates that an asterisk separates the components.
112
113       The  XrmStringToBindingQuarkList function converts the specified string
114       to a binding list and a quark list.  The caller  must  allocate  suffi‐
115       cient  space  for  the  quarks list and the binding list before calling
116       XrmStringToBindingQuarkList.  If the string is not in the Host Portable
117       Character  Encoding the conversion is implementation-dependent.  Compo‐
118       nent names in the list are separated by a period or an asterisk charac‐
119       ter.  If the string does not start with period or asterisk, a period is
120       assumed.  For example, “*a.b*c” becomes:
121
122       quarks     a       b       c
123       bindings   loose   tight   loose
