XrmPutResource() XrmPutResource()
Name
XrmPutResource - store a resource specification into a resource database.
Synopsis
void XrmPutResource(database, specifier, type, value)
XrmDatabase *database;
char *specifier;
char *type;
XrmValue *value;
Arguments
database Specifies a pointer to the resource database. If database contains NULL, a new resource database is created and a pointer to it
is returned in database. If a database is created, it is created in the current locale.
specifier Specifies a complete or partial specification of the resource.
type Specifies the type of the resource.
value Specifies the value of the resource.
Description
XrmPutResource() is one of several functions which store data into a database.
XrmPutResource() first converts specifier into a binding list and a quark list by calling XrmStringToBindingQuarkList(), and converts type
into an XrmRepresentation by calling XrmStringToRepresentation. Finally, it puts the data into the database. If the specifier and type
are not in the Host Portable Character encoding, the result is implementation-dependent. The value is stored in the database without modi-
fication.
XrmPutResource(), XrmQPutResource(), XrmPutStringResource(), XrmQPutStringResource() and XrmPutLineResource() all store data into a data-
base. See the description of XrmQPutResource() for the most complete description of this process.

Structures
XrmDatabase is a pointer to an opaque data type.
typedef struct {
unsigned int size;
