ARGUMENTS

bindings_return

Returns the binding list.

quark

Specifies the quark for which the equivalent string is desired.

quarks_return

Returns the list of quarks.

string

Specifies the string for which a quark or quark list is to be allocated.

DESCRIPTION

The XrmUniqueQuark function allocates a quark that is guaranteed not to represent any string that is known to the resource manager.

These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representation. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the conversion is implementation-dependent. The string argument to XrmStringToQuark need not be permanently allocated storage. XrmPermStringToQuark is just like XrmStringToQuark, except that Xlib is permitted to assume the string argument is permanently allocated, and, hence, that it can be used as the value to be returned by XrmQuarkToString.

For any given quark, if XrmStringToQuark returns a non-NULL value, all future calls will return the same value (identical address).

These functions can be used to convert from quark representation to string. The string pointed to by the return value must not be modified or freed. The returned string is byte-for-byte equal to the original string passed to one of the string-to-quark routines. If no string exists for that quark, XrmQuarkToString returns NULL. For any given quark, if XrmQuarkToString returns a non-NULL value, all future calls will return the same value (identical address).

For any given quark, if XrmStringToQuark returns a non-NULL value, all future calls will return the same value (identical address).

The XrmStringToQuarkList function converts the null-terminated string (generally a fully qualified name) to a list of quarks. The caller must allocate sufficient space for the quarks list before calling XrmStringToQuarkList. Note that the string must be in the valid ResourceName format (see section 15.1). If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the conversion is implementation-dependent.

A binding list is a list of type XrmBindingList and indicates if components of name or class lists are bound tightly or loosely (that is, if wildcarding of intermediate components is specified).

typedef enum {XrmBindTightly, XrmBindLoosely} XrmBinding, *XrmBindingList;

XrmBindTightly indicates that a period separates the components, and XrmBindLoosely indicates that an asterisk separates the components.

The XrmStringToBindingQuarkList function converts the specified string to a binding list and a quark list. The caller must allocate sufficient space for the quarks list and the binding list before calling XrmStringToBindingQuarkList. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the conversion is implementation-dependent. Component names in the list are separated by a period or an asterisk character. If the string does not start with period or asterisk, a period is assumed. For example, ‘‘*a.b*c’’ becomes:

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
