NAME
      XtGetSubresources, XtGetApplicationResources - obtain subresources or
      application resources

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

      void XtGetApplicationResources(w, base, resources, num_resources, args,
      num_args)
            Widget w;
            XtPointer base;
            XtResourceList resources;
            Cardinal num_resources;
            ArgList args;
            Cardinal num_args;

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.

      num_args  Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

      num_resources
                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.
