NAME
       XtGetSubresources, XtGetApplicationResources - obtain sub-
       resources or application resources

SYNTAX
       void XtGetSubresources(w, base, name, class, resources,
       numresources, args, numargs)
             Widget w;
             XtPointer base;
             String name;
             String class;
             XtResourceList resources;
             Cardinal numresources;
             ArgList args;
             Cardinal numargs;

       void XtGetApplicationResources(w, base, resources,
       numresources, args, numargs)
             Widget w;
             XtPointer base;
             XtResourceList resources;
             Cardinal numresources;
             ArgList args;
             Cardinal numargs;

ARGUMENTS
       args      Specifies the argument list to override
                 resources obtained from the resource database.

       base      Specifies the base address of the subpart data
                 structure where the resources should be written.

       class     Specifies the class of the subpart.

       name      Specifies the name of the subpart.

       numargs  Specifies the number of arguments in the argu-
                 ment list.

       numresources
                 Specifies the number of resources in the
                 resource list.

       resources Specifies the resource list for the subpart.

       w         Specifies the widget that wants resources for a
                 subpart or that identifies the resource database
                 to search.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtGetSubresources function constructs a name/class
       list from the application name/class, the name/classes of
       all its ancestors, and the widget itself.  Then, it
       appends to this list the name/class pair passed in.  The

       resources are fetched from the argument list, the resource
       database, or the default values in the resource list.
       Then, they are copied into the subpart record.  If args is
       NULL, num_args must be zero.  However, if num_args is
       zero, the argument list is not referenced.

       The XtGetApplicationResources function first uses the
       passed widget, which is usually an application shell, to
       construct a resource name and class list, Then, it
       retrieves the resources from the argument list, the
       resource database, or the resource list default values.
       After adding base to each address, XtGetApplicationRe-
       sources copies the resources into the address given in the
       resource list.  If args is NULL, num_args must be zero.
       However, if num_args is zero, the argument list is not
       referenced.  The portable way to specify application
       resources is to declare them as members of a structure and
       pass the address of the structure as the base argument.
