Name
       XrmInitialize, XrmParseCommand, XrmValue, XrmOptionKind, XrmOptionDescRec - initialize the Resource Manager, Resource Manager structures,
       and parse the command line

Syntax
       void XrmInitialize();

       void XrmParseCommand(database, table, table_count, name, argc_in_out, argv_in_out,)
	  XrmDatabase *database;
	  XrmOptionDescList table;
	  int table_count;
	  char *name;
	  int *argc_in_out;
	  char **argv_in_out;

Arguments
       argc_in_out
		 Specifies the number of arguments and returns the number of remaining arguments.

       argv_in_out
		 Specifies a pointer to the command line arguments and returns the remaining arguments.

       database  Specifies the resource database.

       name	 Specifies the application name.

       table	 Specifies the table of command line arguments to be parsed.

       table_count
		 Specifies the number of entries in the table.

Description
       The function initialize the resource manager.

       The function parses an (argc, argv) pair according to the specified option table, loads recognized options into the specified database with
       type ``String,'' and modifies the (argc, argv) pair to remove all recognized options.

       The specified table is used to parse the command line.  Recognized entries in the table are removed from argv, and entries are made in the
       specified resource database.  The table entries contain information on the option string, the option name, the style of option, and a value
       to provide if the option kind is The argc argument specifies the number of arguments in argv and is set to the remaining number of argu-
       ments that were not parsed.  The name argument should be the name of your application for use in building the database entry.  The name
       argument is prefixed to the resourceName in the option table before storing the specification.  No separating (binding) character is
       inserted.  The table must contain either a period (.) or an asterisk (*) as the first character in each resourceName entry.  To specify a
       more completely qualified resource name, the resourceName entry can contain multiple components.

Structures
       The and structures contain:

       typedef struct {
	 unsigned int size;
	 caddr_t addr;
       } XrmValue, *XrmValuePtr;

       typedef enum {
	    XrmoptionNoArg,	   /* Value specified in
					XrmOptionDescRec.value */
	    XrmoptionIsArg,	   /* Value is the option string */
	    XrmoptionStickyArg,    /* Value is characters immediately
					following option */
	    XrmoptionSepArg,	   /* Value is next argument in argv */
	    XrmoptionResArg,	   /* Resource and value in next argument
					in argv */
	    XrmoptionSkipArg,	   /* Ignore option and next argument
					in argv */
	    XrmoptionSkipLine,	   /* Ignore option and the rest of argv */
	    XrmoptionSkipNArgs	   /* Ignore option and the next
					XrmOptionDescRec.value arguments
					in argv */
       } XrmOptionKind;

       typedef struct {
	    char *option;	   /* Option specification string in
					argv */
	    char *specifier;	   /* Binding and resource name
				       (without application name)  */
	    XrmOptionKind argKind; /* Which style of option it is */
	    caddr_t value;	   /* Value to provide if XrmoptionNoArg
					or XrmoptionSkipNArgs  */
       } XrmOptionDescRec, *XrmOptionDescList;
