XrmInitialize(3X11)	XLIB FUNCTIONS	    XrmInitialize(3X11)

NAME
       XrmInitialize, XrmParseCommand, XrmValue, XrmOptionKind,
       XrmOptionDescRec - initialize the Resource Manager,
       Resource Manager structures, and parse the command line

SYNTAX
       void XrmInitialize();

       void XrmParseCommand(database, table, table_count, name,
       argc_in_out, argv_in_out)
	     XrmDatabase *database;
	     XrmOptionDescList table;
	     int table_count;
	     char *name;
	     int *argc_in_out;
	     char **argv_in_out;

ARGUMENTS
       argc_in_out
		 Specifies the number of arguments and returns
		 the number of remaining arguments.

       argv_in_out
		 Specifies the command line arguments and returns
		 the remaining arguments.

       database Specifies the resource database.

       name	Specifies the application name.

       table	Specifies the table of command line arguments to
		 be parsed.

       table_count
		 Specifies the number of entries in the table.

DESCRIPTION
       The XrmInitialize function initialize the resource man-
       ager.  It must be called before any other Xrm functions
       are used.

       The XrmParseCommand function parses an (argc, argv) pair
       according to the specified option table, loads recognized
       options into the specified database with type ``String,''
       and modifies the (argc, argv) pair to remove all recog-
       nized options.  If database contains NULL, XrmParseCommand
       creates a new database and returns a pointer to it.  Oth-
       erwise, entries are added to the database specified.  If a
       database is created, it is created in the current locale.

       The specified table is used to parse the command line.
       Recognized options in the table are removed from argv, and
       entries are added to the specified resource database in
       the order they occur in argv.  The table entries contain

       information on the option string, the option name, the
       style of option, and a value to provide if the option kind
       is XrmoptionNoArg.  The option names are compared byte-
       for-byte to arguments in argv, independent of any locale.
       The resource values given in the table are stored in the
       resource database without modification.	All resource
       database entries are created using a ``String'' represen-
       tation type.  The argc argument specifies the number of
       arguments in argv and is set on return to the remaining
       number of arguments that were not parsed.  The name argu-
       ment should be the name of your application for use in
       building the database entry.  The name argument is pre-
       fixed to the resourceName in the option table before stor-
       ing a database entry.  The name argument is treated as a
       single component, even if it has embedded periods.  No
       separating (binding) character is inserted, so the table
       must contain either a period (.) or an asterisk (*) as the
       first character in each resourceName entry.  To specify a
       more completely qualified resource name, the resourceName
       entry can contain multiple components.  If the name argu-
       ment and the resourceNames are not in the Host Portable
       Character Encoding, the result is implementation-depen-
       dent.

STRUCTURES
       The XrmValue, XrmOptionKind, and XrmOptionDescRec struc-
       tures contain:

       typedef struct {
	    unsigned int size;
	    XPointer addr;
       } XrmValue, *XrmValuePtr;

       typedef enum {
	    XrmoptionNoArg,	/* Value is specified in XrmOptionDescRec.value */
	    XrmoptionIsArg,	/* Value is the option string itself */
	    XrmoptionStickyArg, /* Value is characters immediately following option */
	    XrmoptionSepArg,	/* Value is next argument in argv */
	    XrmoptionResArg,	/* Resource and value in next argument in argv */
	    XrmoptionSkipArg,	/* Ignore this option and the next argument in argv */
	    XrmoptionSkipLine,	/* Ignore this option and the rest of argv */
	    XrmoptionSkipNArgs	/* Ignore this option and the next
				   XrmOptionDescRec.value arguments in argv */
       } XrmOptionKind;

       typedef struct {
	    char *option;	/* Option specification string in argv	*/
	    char *specifier;	/* Binding and resource name (sans application name)	*/
	    XrmOptionKind argKind;/* Which style of option it is    */
	    XPointer value;	/* Value to provide if XrmoptionNoArg or
				   XrmoptionSkipNArgs	*/
       } XrmOptionDescRec, *XrmOptionDescList;
