NAME
MrmFetchLiteral - Fetches a literal from a uid file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Intrinsics>
#include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
int MrmFetchLiteral(hierarchy_id, index, display, value,
type)
MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id;
String index;
Display *display;

DESCRIPTION
The MrmFetchLiteral function reads and returns the value and
type of a literal (named value) that is stored as a public
resource in a single uid file. This function returns a
pointer to the value of the literal. For example, an
integer is always returned as a pointer to an integer, and a
string is always returned as a pointer to a string.
Applications should not use MrmmFetchLiteral for fetching
icon or color literals. If this is attempted,
MrmmFetchLiteral returns an error.
hierarchy_id
Specifies the ID of the uid hierarchy that
contains the specified literal. The hierarchy_id
was returned in a previous call to
MrmmOpenHierarchy.
index Specifies the uil name of the literal (pixmap) to
fetch. You must define this name in uil as an
exported value.
display Specifies the display used for the pixmap. The
display argument specifies the connection to the X
server. For more information on the Display
structure see the Xlib function XOpenDisplay.
value Returns the ID of the named literal's value.
type Returns the named literal's data type.
RETURN VALUE
This function returns one of these status return constants:
MrmSUCCESS The function executed successfully.
MrmWRONGTYPE The operation encountered an unsupported
literal type.
MrmNOTFOUND The literal was not found in the uid file.
MrmFAILURE The function failed.
