XrmQGetResource() XrmQGetResource() Name XrmQGetResource - get a resource value using name and class as quarks. Synopsis Bool XrmQGetResource(database, quark_name, quark_class, quark_type_ return, value_return) XrmDatabase database; XrmNameList quark_name; XrmClassList quark_class; XrmRepresentation *quark_type_return; XrmValue *value_return; Arguments database Specifies the database that is to be used. quark_name Specifies the fully qualified name of the value being retrieved (as a list of quarks). quark_class Specifies the fully qualified class of the value being retrieved (as a list of quarks). quark_type_return Returns a pointer to the representation type of the value. In this function, the representation type is represented as a quark. value_return Returns a pointer to the value in the database. Do not modify or free this data. Returns True if the resource was found, else False. Description XrmQGetResource() retrieves a resource from the specified database. It takes fully qualified name and class strings, and returns the rep- resentation and value of the matching resource. The value returned points into database memory; you must not modify that data. If a resource was found, XrmQGetResource() returns True. Otherwise, it returns False. Currently, the database only frees or overwrites entries when new data is stored with XrmMergeDatabases(), or XrmPutResource() and related routines. A client that avoids these functions should be safe using the address passed back at any time until it exits. XrmQGetResource() is very similar to XrmGetResource(), except that in XrmGetResource(), the equivalent arguments to quark_name, quark_class, and quark_type_return arguments are strings instead of quarks. See XrmGetResource() for a full description of how data is looked up in the database. For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 13, Managing User Preferences.

Description The and functions retrieve a resource from the specified database. Both take a fully qualified name/class pair, a destination resource representation, and the address of a value (size/address pair). The value and returned type point into database memory; therefore, you must not modify the data. The database only frees or overwrites entries on or A client that is not storing new values into the database or is not merging the data- base should be safe using the address passed back at any time until it exits. If a resource was found, both and return otherwise, they return The function takes a list of names and classes and returns a list of database levels where a match might occur. The returned list is in best-to-worst order and uses the same algorithm as for determining precedence. If list_return was large enough for the search list, returns otherwise, it returns The size of the search list that the caller must allocate is dependent upon the number of levels and wildcards in the resource specifiers that are stored in the database. The worst case length is 3n, where n is the number of name or class components in names or classes. When using followed by multiple probes for resources with a common name and class prefix, only the common prefix should be specified in the name and class list to The function searches the specified database levels for the resource that is fully identified by the specified name and class. The search stops with the first match. returns if the resource was found; otherwise, it returns A call to with a name and class list containing all but the last component of a resource name followed by a call to with the last component name and class returns the same database entry as and with the fully qualified name and class.
