NAME
     XGetDefault, XResourceManagerString - get X defaults

DESCRIPTION
     The XGetDefault function finds out the fonts, colors, and
     other environment defaults favored by a particular user for
     the specified program and returns NULL if the name specified
     by option does not exist for program.  Strings returned by
     XGetDefault are owned by Xlib and should not be modified or
     freed by the client.

     The XResourceManagerString returns the RESOURCE_MANAGER pro-
     perty from the server's root window of screen zero, which
     was returned when the connection was opened using XOpen-
     Display.  Note that the property value must be in a format
     that is acceptable to XrmGetStringDatabase.

   Arguments
     These functions accept the following arguments:

     display Specifies the connection to the X server.

     option  Specifies the option name.

     program Specifies the program name for the Xlib defaults.
             You must pass the program name in with the program
             argument (usually argv[0]).
