NAME
XrmInitialize, XrmParseCommand - initialize the Resource Manager 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 a pointer to the command line arguments and returns
the remaining arguments.
database Specifies a pointer to 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 manager.
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 recognized options.
The specified table is used to parse the command line. Recognized
entries in the table are removed from argv, and entries are made in 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 XrmoptionNoArg. The argc argument
specifies the number of arguments in argv and is set 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 the specification. No separating (binding) character is
inserted. 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.
