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.
