void XtGetApplicationResources(w, base, resources,
num_resources, args, num_args)

ARGUMENTS
args Specifies the argument list to override resources
obtained from the resource database.
base Specifies the base address of the subpart data
structure where the resources should be written.
class Specifies the class of the subpart.
name Specifies the name of the subpart.
num_args Specifies the number of arguments in the argument
list.
num_resources
Specifies the number of resources in the resource
list.
resources Specifies the resource list for the subpart.
w Specifies the widget that wants resources for a
subpart or that identifies the resource database
to search.
DESCRIPTION
The XtGetSubresources function constructs a name/class list
from the application name/class, the name/classes of all its
ancestors, and the widget itself. Then, it appends to this
list the name/class pair passed in. The resources are
fetched from the argument list, the resource database, or
the default values in the resource list. Then, they are
copied into the subpart record. If args is NULL, num_args
must be zero. However, if num_args is zero, the argument
list is not referenced.
The XtGetApplicationResources function first uses the passed
widget, which is usually an application shell, to construct
a resource name and class list, Then, it retrieves the
resources from the argument list, the resource database, or
the resource list default values. After adding base to each
address, XtGetApplicationResources copies the resources into
the address given in the resource list. If args is NULL,
num_args must be zero. However, if num_args is zero, the
argument list is not referenced. The portable way to
specify application resources is to declare them as members
of a structure and pass the address of the structure as the
base argument.
