+.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 +Specifies the database contents using a string. +.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. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +XrmGetResource(3X11), +XrmInitialize(3X11), +XrmPutResource(3X11) +.br +\fI\*(xL\fP |
