mrmfetchliteral

MrmFetchLiteral(library call)											     MrmFetchLiteral(library call)

NAME

       MrmFetchLiteral -- Fetches a literal from a UID file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
       Cardinal MrmFetchLiteral(
       MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id,
       String index,
       Display *display,
       XtPointer *value,
       MrmCode *type);

DESCRIPTION

       The  MrmFetchLiteral function reads and returns the value and type of a literal (named value) that is stored as a public resource in a sin-
       gle UID file.  This function returns a pointer to the value of the literal.  For example, an integer is always returned as a pointer to	an
       integer, and a string is always returned as a pointer to a string.

       Applications should not use MrmFetchLiteral for fetching icon or color literals.  If this is attempted, MrmFetchLiteral returns an error.

       hierarchy_id
		 Specifies  the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the specified literal.  The value of hierarchy_id was returned in a previous
		 call to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay.

       index	 Specifies the UIL name of the literal (pixmap) to fetch.  You must define this name in UIL as an exported value.

       display	 Specifies the display used for the pixmap.  The display argument specifies the connection to the X server.  For more  information
		 on the Display structure, see the Xlib function XOpenDisplay.

       value	 Returns  the ID of the named literal's value.	The function allocates space for the returned value.  The application is responsi-
		 ble for managing the allocated space by calling the appropriate deallocation function. For example, if the returned ID symbolizes
		 a pixmap, then the application can recover the allocated space by calling XmDestroyPixmap.

       type	 Returns the named literal's data type.  Types are defined in the include file Mrm/MrmPublic.h.

RETURN

       This function returns one of the following status return constants:

       MrmSUCCESS
		 The function executed successfully.

       MrmBAD_HIERARCHY
		 The hierarchy ID was invalid.

       MrmNOT_FOUND
		 The literal was not found in the UIL file.

       MrmWRONG_TYPE
		 The caller tried to fetch a literal of a type not supported by this function.

       MrmFAILURE
		 The function failed.
