SYNTAX
void XrmInitialize();
void XrmParseCommand(database, table, table_count, name,
argc_in_out, argv_in_out,)
XrmDatabase *database;

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.
