NAME

XScreenResourceString — return the SCREEN_RESOURCES property. 

SYNOPSIS

   Screen ∗screen;

ARGUMENTS

screenSpecifies the screen. 

RETURNS

The property data string. 

AVAILABILITY

Release 5 and later. 

DESCRIPTION

XScreenResourceString() returns the SCREEN_RESOURCES property from the root window of the specified screen.  The property is converted from type STRING to the current locale.  The conversion is identical to that produced by XmbTextPropertyToTextList() for a singleton STRING property.  Note that the property value must be in a format that is acceptable to XrmGetStringDatabase().  If no property exists, NULL is returned.  The caller is responsible for freeing the returned string, using XFree(). 

XScreenResourceString() reads the window property each time it is requested.  This differs from the behavior of XResourceManagerString() which simply returns the value of the property as it was defined when the connection with the X server was established.
