XrmStringToQuarkList() XrmStringToQuarkList() Name XrmStringToQuarkList - convert a key string to a quark list. Synopsis void XrmStringToQuarkList(string, quarks_return) char *string; XrmQuarkList quarks_return; Arguments string Specifies the string for which a list of quarks is to be generated. Must be NULL-terminated. The components may be separated by the dot (.) character (tight binding) or the asterisk (*) character (loose binding). quarks_return Returns the list of quarks. Description XrmStringToQuarkList() converts string (generally a fully qualified name/class string) to a list of quarks. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the conversion is implementation-dependent. Components of the string may be separated by a tight binding (the "." character) or a loose binding ("*"). Use XrmStringToBindingQuarkList() for lists which contain both tight and loose bindings. See XrmGetResource() for a description of tight and loose binding. Each component of the string is individually converted into a quark. See XrmStringToQuark() for information about quarks and converting strings to quarks. quarks_return is a NULL-terminated list of quarks. For example, xmh.toc.command.background is converted into a list of four quarks: the quarks for xmh, toc, command, and background, in that order. A NULLQUARK is appended to the end of the list. Note that XrmStringToNameList and XrmStringToClassList are macros that perform exactly the same function as XrmStringToQuarkList(). These may be used in cases where they clarify the code.

Description The 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 to and from quark representations. The string pointed to by the return value must not be modified or freed. If no string exists for that quark, returns NULL. The function converts the specified resource quark representation back to a string. The 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. The components of the string are separated by a period or asterisk character. A binding list is a list of type 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; indicates that a period separates the components, and indicates that an asterisk separates the components. The function converts the specified string to a binding list and a quark list. 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 tightloose See Also XrmGetResource(3X11), XrmInitialize(3X11), XrmMergeDatabases(3X11), XrmPutResource(3X11) X Window System: The Complete Reference, Second Edition, Robert W.
