XrmStringToBindingQuarkList()											     XrmStringToBindingQuarkList()

Name
  XrmStringToBindingQuarkList - convert a key string to a binding list and a quark list.

Synopsis
  XrmStringToBindingQuarkList(string, bindings_return, quarks_return)
	  char *string;
	  XrmBindingList bindings_return;
	  XrmQuarkList quarks_return;

Arguments
  string    Specifies the string for which the list of quarks and list of bindings_return are to be generated.	Must be NULL-terminated.

  bindings_return
	    Returns the binding list.  The caller must allocate sufficient space for the binding list before the call.

  quarks_return
	    Returns the list of quarks.  The caller must allocate sufficient space for the quarks list before the call.

Description
  XrmStringToBindingQuarkList() converts a resource specification string into two lists - one of quarks and one of bindings.  Component names
  in the list are separated by a dot (.) indicating a tight binding or an asterisk (*) indicating a loose binding.  If the  string  does  not
  start with dot or asterisk, a dot (".") is assumed.

  A  tight  binding means that the quarks on either side of the binding are consecutive in the key.  A loose binding, on the other hand, is a
  wildcard that can match any number of unspecified components in between the two quarks separated by the binding.  Tight and loose  bindings
  are used in the match rules, which compare multicomponent strings to find matches and determine the best match.  See XrmGetResource() for a
  full description of lookup rules.

  For example, *a.b*c becomes:

quarks	 bindings
a	 XrmBindLoosely
b	 XrmBindTightly
c	 XrmBindLoosely

Arguments
       bindings_return
		 Returns the binding list.

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

       quarks_return
		 Returns the list of quarks.

       string	 Specifies the string for which a quark is to be allocated.

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
