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.

  For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 13, Managing User Preferences.

Structures
     typedef int XrmQuark *XrmQuarkList;

     #define XrmStringToNameList(str, name)  XrmStringToQuarkList((str), (name))
     #define XrmStringToClassList(str,class) XrmStringToQuarkList((str), (class))
