     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.

          This function 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).

          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.

          The XrmStringToQuarkList function converts the null-
          terminated string (generally a fully qualified name) to a
          list of quarks.  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.  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:

          quarks a       b      c
          bindings       loose  tightloose
