XrmMergeDatabases(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS	XrmMergeDatabases(3X11)

NAME
       XrmMergeDatabases, XrmCombineDatabase, XrmCombineFile-
       Database - merge resource databases

SYNTAX
       void XrmMergeDatabases(source_db, target_db)
	     XrmDatabase source_db, *target_db;

       void XrmCombineDatabase(source_db, target_db, override)
	     XrmDatabase source_db, *target_db;
	     Bool override;

       Status XrmCombineFileDatabase(filename, target_db,
       override)
	     char *filename;
	     XrmDatabase *target_db;
	     Bool override;

ARGUMENTS
       source_db Specifies the resource database that is to be
		 merged into the target database.

       target_db Specifies the resource database into which the
		 source database is to be merged.

       filename Specifies the resource database file name.

       override Specifies whether source entries override target
		 ones.

DESCRIPTION
       Calling the XrmMergeDatabases function is equivalent to
       calling the XrmCombineDatabase function with an override
       argument of True.

       The XrmCombineDatabase function merges the contents of one
       database into another.  If the same specifier is used for
       an entry in both databases, the entry in the source_db
       will replace the entry in the target_db if override is
       True; otherwise, the entry in source_db is discarded.  If
       target_db contains NULL, XrmCombineDatabase simply stores
       source_db in it. Otherwise, source_db is destroyed by the
       merge, but the database pointed to by target_db is not
       destroyed.  The database entries are merged without chang-
       ing values or types, regardless of the locales of the
       databases.  The locale of the target database is not modi-
       fied.

       The XrmCombineFileDatabase function merges the contents of
       a resource file into a database. If the same specifier is
       used for an entry in both the file and the database, the
       entry in the file will replace the entry in the database
       if override is True; otherwise, the entry in the file is
       discarded.  The file is parsed in the current locale.  If

       the file cannot be read, a zero status is returned; other-
       wise, a nonzero status is returned.  If target_db contains
       NULL, XrmCombineFileDatabase creates and returns a new
       database to it.	Otherwise, the database pointed to by
       target_db is not destroyed by the merge. The database
       entries are merged without changing values or types,
       regardless of the locale of the database.  The locale of
       the target database is not modified.
