XtErrorMsg()															      XtErrorMsg()

Name
  XtErrorMsg - call the high-level fatal error handler.

Synopsis
  void XtErrorMsg(name, type, class, default, params, num_params)
	 String name;
	 String type;
	 String class;
	 String default;
	 String *params;
	 Cardinal *num_params;

Inputs
  name	    Specifies the general kind of error.

  type	    Specifies the detailed name of the error.

  class     Specifies the resource class of the error.

  default   Specifies the default message to use if no message is found in the database.

  params    Specifies an array of values to be inserted into the message.

  num_params
	    Specifies the number of elements in params.

Returns
  XtErrorMsg() terminates the application and does not return.

Availability
  XtErrorMsg() has been superseded by XtAppErrorMsg().

Description
  XtErrorMsg()	passes all of its arguments to the installed high-level error handler.	The default high-level error handler is _XtDefaultEr-
  rorMsg().  It calls XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText() to lookup an error message of the specified name, type, and class in	the  error  database.
  If  no such message is found, XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText() returns the specified default message.  In either case, _XtDefaultErrorMsg() does
  a printf-style substitution of params into the message, and passes the resulting text to the low-level error handler by calling XtError().

Usage
  XtErrorMsg() has been superseded by XtAppErrorMsg(), which performs the same function on a per-application context basis.  XtErrorMsg() now
  calls  XtAppErrorMsg() passing the default application context created by XtInitialize().  Very few programs need multiple application con-
  texts, and you can continue to use XtErrorMsg() if you initialize your application with XtInitialize().  We recommend,  however,  that  you
  use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppErrorMsg(), and the other XtApp*() application context specific functions.

  See XtAppErrorMsg() for more information.
