+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XtConvertAndStore
+function looks up the type converter registered to convert from_type
+to to_type, computes any additional arguments needed, and then calls
+.ZN XtCallConverter .
+(or
+.ZN XtDirectConvert
+if an old-style converter was registered with
+.ZN XtAddConverter
+or
+.ZN XtAppAddConverter .
+) with the from and to_in_out arguments.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XtCallConverter
+function looks up the specified type converter in the application
+context associated with the display and, if the converter was not
+registered or was registered with cache type
+.ZN XtCacheAll
+or
+.ZN XtCacheByDisplay
+looks in the conversion cache to see if this conversion procedure
+has been called with the specified conversion arguments. If so, it
+checks the success status of the prior call, and if the conversion
+failed,
+.ZN XtCallConverter
+returns
+.ZN False
+immediately; otherwise it checks the size specified in the \fIto\fP
+argument and, if it is greater than or equal to the size stored in the
+cache, copies the information stored in the cache into the location
+specified by \fIto->addr\fP, stores the cache size into \fIto->size\fP,
+and returns
+.ZN True .
+If the size specified in the \fIto\fP argument is smaller than the size
+stored in the cache,
+.ZN XtCallConverter
+copies the cache size into the \fIto->size\fP and returns
+.ZN False .
+If the converter was registered with cache type
+.ZN XtCacheNone
+or no value was found in the conversion cache,
+.ZN XtCallConverter
+calls the converter and, if it was not registered with cache type
+.ZN XtCacheNone ,
+enters the result into the cache.
+.ZN XtCallConverter
+then returns what the converter returned.
+.LP
+The \fIcache_ref_return\fP field specifies storage allocated by the
+caller in which an opaque value will be stored. If the type converter
+has been registered with the
+.ZN XtCacheRefCount
+modifier and if the value returned in in \fIcache_ref_return\fP is
+non-NULL, then the call should store the \fIcache_ref_return\fP value
+in order to decrement the reference count when the converted value
+is no longer required. The \fIcache_ref_return\fP argument should be
+NULL if the caller is unwilling or unable to store the value.
