XrmRepresentationToString()											       XrmRepresentationToString()

Name
  XrmRepresentationToString - convert a quark to a string.

Synopsis
  #define XrmRepresentationToString(type) XrmQuarkToString(type)

char *XrmQuarkToString(quark)
   XrmQuark quark;

Arguments
  quark     Specifies the quark for which the equivalent string is desired.

Returns
  The string.

Description
  XrmRepresentationToString  is  an alias for XrmQuarkToString().  It returns the string for which the specified quark is serving as a short-
  hand symbol.	The quark was returned earlier by XrmStringToQuark or XrmStringToRepresentation().  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, XrmRepresentationToString 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.
