XrmInitialize, XrmParseCommand - initialize the
Resource Manager and parse the command line
SYNOPSIS
void XrmInitialize();
void XrmParseCommand(database, table, table_count,
name, argc_in_out, argv_in_out,)
XrmDatabase *database;
XrmOptionDescList table;
int table_count;
char *name;
int *argc_in_out;
char **argv_in_out;
ARGUMENTS
argc_in_out
Specifies the number of arguments and returns
the number of remaining arguments.
argv_in_out
Specifies a pointer to the command line
arguments and returns the remaining
arguments.
database Specifies a pointer to the resource database.
name Specifies the application name.

DESCRIPTION
The XrmInitialize function initialize the resource
manager.
The XrmParseCommand function parses an (argc, argv)
pair according to the specified option table, loads
recognized options into the specified database with
type ``String,'' and modifies the (argc, argv) pair to
remove all recognized options.
The specified table is used to parse the command line.
Recognized entries in the table are removed from argv,
and entries are made in the specified resource
database. The table entries contain information on the
option string, the option name, the style of option,
and a value to provide if the option kind is

XrmoptionNoArg. The argc argument specifies the number
of arguments in argv and is set to the remaining number
of arguments that were not parsed. The name argument
should be the name of your application for use in
building the database entry. The name argument is
prefixed to the resourceName in the option table before
storing the specification. No separating (binding)
character is inserted. The table must contain either a
period (.) or an asterisk (*) as the first character in
each resourceName entry. To specify a more completely
qualified resource name, the resourceName entry can
contain multiple components.
