NAME
       XrmInitialize, XrmParseCommand, XrmValue, XrmOptionKind, XrmOptionDe‐
       scRec - 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 remain‐
		 ing 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 function initialize the resource manager.  It must be called before
       any other Xrm functions are used.

       The 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 rec‐
       ognized options.	 If database contains NULL, creates a new database and
       returns a pointer to it.	 Otherwise, 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.	 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 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'' representation 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 argument should be the name
       of your application for use in building the database entry.  The name
       argument is prefixed to the resourceName in the option table before
       storing a database entry.  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 argument and the resource‐
       Names are not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the result is
       implementation dependent.

STRUCTURES
       The and structures 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;
