     MrmRegisterNames(Xm)                           UNIX System V



     NAME
          MrmRegisterNames - Registers the values associated with  the
          names  referenced in uil (for example, uil callback function
          names or uil identifier names).


     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Intrinsics>
          #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
          Cardinal MrmRegisterNames(register_list, register_count)
               MrmRegisterArglist register_list;
               MrmCount register_count;


     DESCRIPTION
          The MrmRegisterNames function registers a  vector  of  names
          and  associated  values for access in MRM. The values can be
          callback functions, pointers to user-defined  data,  or  any
          other  values.  The  information provided is used to resolve
          symbolic references occurring in uid files to their run-time
          values.    For  callbacks,  this  information  provides  the
          procedure address required by the Motif Toolkit.  For  names
          used  as  identifiers  in uil, this information provides any
          run-time mapping the application needs.

          register_list
                    Specifies a list of name/value pairs for the names
                    to  be registered.  Each name is a case-sensitive,
                    NULL-terminated ASCII string.   Each  value  is  a
                    32-bit   quantity,   interpreted  as  a  procedure
                    address if the name is a  callback  function,  and
                    uninterpreted otherwise.

          register_count
                    Specifies the number of entries in register_list.

          The names in the list are case-sensitive.  The list  can  be
          either ordered or unordered.

          Callback functions registered through  MrmRegisterNames  can
          be  either regular or creation callbacks.  Regular callbacks
          have declarations  determined  by  Motif  Toolkit  and  user
          requirements.   Creation  callbacks  have the same format as
          any other callback:

          void CallBackProc(widget_id, tag, callback_data)
               Widget *widget_id;
               Opaque tag;
               XmAnyCallbackStruct *callback_data;

          widget_id Specifies the widget ID associated with the widget
                    performing   the  callback  (as  in  any  callback
                    function).

          tag       Specifies  the  tag  value  (as  in  any  callback
                    function).

          callback_data
                    Specifies a widget-specific data structure.   This
                    data structure has a minimum of two members: event
                    and reason.  The reason member is  always  set  to
                    XmCRCreate.

          Note that the widget name and parent are available from  the
          widget record accessible through widget_id.


     RETURN VALUE
          This function returns one of these status return constants:

          MrmSUCCESS     The function executed successfully.

          MrmFAILURE     Memory allocation failed.
