XrmClassToString() XrmClassToString() Name XrmClassToString - convert a quark to a string. Synopsis #define XrmClassToString(class) XrmQuarkToString(class) char *XrmQuarkToString(quark) XrmQuark quark; Arguments quark Specifies the quark for which the equivalent string is desired. Returns The string. Description XrmClassToString is an alias for XrmQuarkToString(). It returns the string for which the specified quark is serving as a shorthand symbol. The quark was earlier set to represent the string by XrmStringToQuark() or XrmStringToClass(). The string pointed to by the return value must not be modified or freed, because that string is in the data structure used by the resource manager for assigning quarks. If no string exists for that quark, XrmClassToString returns NULL. Since the resource manager needs to make many comparisons of strings when it gets data from the database, it is more efficient to convert these strings into quarks, and to compare quarks instead. Since quarks are represented by integers, comparing quarks is trivial. For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 13, Managing User Preferences.

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.
