XrmPutResource(3X11)        X Version 11(Release 5)        XrmPutResource(3X11)


DESCRIPTION
      If database contains NULL, XrmPutResource creates a new database and
      returns a pointer to it.  XrmPutResource is a convenience function that
      calls XrmStringToBindingQuarkList followed by:

      XrmQPutResource(database, bindings, quarks, XrmStringToQuark(type), value)
If the specifier and type are not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the
result is implementation dependent.  The value is stored in the database
without modification.

      If database contains NULL, XrmQPutResource creates a new database and
      returns a pointer to it.  If a resource entry with the identical bindings
      and quarks already exists in the database, the previous value is replaced
      by the new specified value.  The value is stored in the database without
      modification.

      If database contains NULL, XrmPutStringResource creates a new database
      and returns a pointer to it.  XrmPutStringResource adds a resource with
      the specified value to the specified database.  XrmPutStringResource is a
      convenience function that first calls XrmStringToBindingQuarkList on the
      specifier and then calls XrmQPutResource, using a ``String''
      representation type.  If the specifier is not in the Host Portable
      Character Encoding the result is implementation dependent.  The value is
      stored in the database without modification.

      If database contains NULL, XrmQPutStringResource creates a new database
      and returns a pointer to it.  XrmQPutStringResource is a convenience
      routine that constructs an XrmValue for the value string (by calling
      strlen to compute the size) and then calls XrmQPutResource, using a
      ``String'' representation type.  The value is stored in the database
      without modification.

      If database contains NULL, XrmPutLineResource creates a new database and
      returns a pointer to it.  XrmPutLineResource adds a single resource entry
      to the specified database.  The line must be in valid ResourceLine format
      (see section 15.1).  The string is parsed in the locale of the database.
      If the ResourceName is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the
      result is implementation dependent.  Note that comment lines are not
      stored.
