-.SH ARGUMENTS
-.IP \fIfilename\fP 1i
-Specifies the resource database file name.
-.IP \fIdatabase\fP 1i
-Specifies the database that is to be used.
-.IP \fIstored_db\fP 1i
-Specifies the file name for the stored database.
-.IP \fIdata\fP 1i

-.IP \fIdatabase\fP 1i
-Specifies the resource database.
-.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
-Specifies the connection to the X server.
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.ZN XrmGetFileDatabase
-function opens the specified file,
-creates a new resource database, and loads it with the specifications
-read in from the specified file.
-The specified file should contain a sequence of entries in valid ResourceLine
-format (see section 15.1); the database that results from reading a file
-with incorrect syntax is implementation-dependent.
-The file is parsed in the current locale,
-and the database is created in the current locale.
-If it cannot open the specified file,
-.ZN XrmGetFileDatabase
-returns NULL.
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XrmPutFileDatabase
-function stores a copy of the specified database in the specified file.
-Text is written to the file as a sequence of entries in valid
-ResourceLine format (see section 15.1).
-The file is written in the locale of the database.
-Entries containing resource names that are not in the Host Portable Character
-Encoding or containing values that are not in the encoding of the database
-locale, are written in an implementation-dependent manner.
-The order in which entries are written is implementation-dependent.
-Entries with representation types other than ``String'' are ignored.
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XrmGetStringDatabase
-function creates a new database and stores the resources specified
-in the specified null-terminated string.
-.ZN XrmGetStringDatabase
-is similar to
-.ZN XrmGetFileDatabase
-except that it reads the information out of a string instead of out of a file.
-The string should contain a sequence of entries in valid ResourceLine
-format (see section 15.1) terminated by a null character;
-the database that results from using a string
-with incorrect syntax is implementation-dependent.
-The string is parsed in the current locale,
-and the database is created in the current locale.
-.LP
-If database is NULL,
-.ZN XrmDestroyDatabase
-returns immediately.
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XrmLocaleOfDatabase
-function returns the name of the locale bound to the specified
-database, as a null-terminated string.
-The returned locale name string is owned by Xlib and should not be
-modified or freed by the client.
-Xlib is not permitted to free the string until the database is destroyed.
-Until the string is freed,
-it will not be modified by Xlib.
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XrmGetDatabase
-function returns the database associated with the specified display.
-It returns NULL if a database has not yet been set.
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XrmSetDatabase
-function associates the specified resource database (or NULL)
-with the specified display.
-The database previously associated with the display (if any) is not destroyed.
-A client or toolkit may find this function convenient for retaining a database
-once it is constructed.
-.SH "FILE SYNTAX"
-The syntax of a resource file is a sequence of resource lines
-terminated by newline characters or the end of the file.
-The syntax of an individual resource line is:
-.LP
-.\" Start marker code here
-.EX
-ResourceLine = Comment | IncludeFile | ResourceSpec | <empty line>
-Comment = "!" {<any character except null or newline>}
-IncludeFile = "#" WhiteSpace "include" WhiteSpace FileName WhiteSpace
-FileName = <valid filename for operating system>
-ResourceSpec = WhiteSpace ResourceName WhiteSpace ":" WhiteSpace Value
-ResourceName = [Binding] {Component Binding} ComponentName
-Binding = "\&." | "*"
-WhiteSpace = {<space> | <horizontal tab>}
-Component = "?" | ComponentName
-ComponentName = NameChar {NameChar}
-NameChar = "a"\-"z" | "A"\-"Z" | "0"\-"9" | "_" | "-"
-Value = {<any character except null or unescaped newline>}
-.EE
-.LP
-Elements separated by vertical bar (|) are alternatives.
-Curly braces ({\&.\&.\&.}) indicate zero or more repetitions
-of the enclosed elements.
-Square brackets ([\&.\&.\&.]) indicate that the enclosed element is optional.
-Quotes ("\&.\&.\&.") are used around literal characters.
-.LP
-IncludeFile lines are interpreted by replacing the line with the
-contents of the specified file.
-The word ``include'' must be in lowercase.
-The file name is interpreted relative to the directory of the file in
-which the line occurs (for example, if the file name contains no
-directory or contains a relative directory specification).
-.LP
-If a ResourceName contains a contiguous sequence of two or more Binding
-characters, the sequence will be replaced with single ``\&.'' character
-if the sequence contains only ``\&.'' characters;
-otherwise, the sequence will be replaced with a single ``*'' character.
-.LP
-A resource database never contains more than one entry for a given
-ResourceName. If a resource file contains multiple lines with the
-same ResourceName, the last line in the file is used.
-.LP
-Any white space characters before or after the name or colon in a ResourceSpec
-are ignored.
-To allow a Value to begin with white space,
-the two-character sequence ``\^\\\^\fIspace\fP'' (backslash followed by space)
-is recognized and replaced by a space character,
-and the two-character sequence ``\^\\\^\fItab\fP''
-(backslash followed by horizontal tab)
-is recognized and replaced by a horizontal tab character.
-To allow a Value to contain embedded newline characters,
-the two-character sequence ``\^\\\^n'' is recognized and replaced by a
-newline character.
-To allow a Value to be broken across multiple lines in a text file,
-the two-character sequence ``\^\\\^\fInewline\fP''
-(backslash followed by newline) is
-recognized and removed from the value.
-To allow a Value to contain arbitrary character codes,
-the four-character sequence ``\^\\\^\fInnn\fP'',
-where each \fIn\fP is a digit character in the range of ``0''\^\-``7'',
-is recognized and replaced with a single byte that contains
-the octal value specified by the sequence.
-Finally, the two-character sequence ``\^\\\\'' is recognized
-and replaced with a single backslash.
