NAME
       XtGetSubresources, XtGetApplicationResources - obtain subresources 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 argument 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, XtGetApplicationResources 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.
