         char *line;


 Arguments


    bindings  Specifies a list of bindings.

    database  Specifies the resource database.

    line      Specifies the resource name and value pair as a single string.

    quarks    Specifies the complete or partial name or the class list of the
              resource.

    specifier Specifies a complete or partial specification of the resource.

    type      Specifies the type of the resource.

    value     Specifies the value of the resource, which is specified as a
              string.

 Description

    If database contains NULL, XrmPutResource creates a new database and
    returns a pointer to it.  XrmPutResource is a convenience function that
    calls XrmStringToBindingQuarkList followed by:

    XrmQPutResource(database, bindings, quarks, XrmStringToQuark(type), value)

    If the specifier and type are not in the Host Portable Character Encoding
    the result is implementation dependent.  The value is stored in the data-
    base without modification.

    If database contains NULL, XrmQPutResource creates a new database and
    returns a pointer to it.  If a resource entry with the identical bindings
    and quarks already exists in the database, the previous value is replaced
    by the new specified value.  The value is stored in the database without
    modification.

    If database contains NULL, XrmPutStringResource creates a new database
    and returns a pointer to it.  XrmPutStringResource adds a resource with
    the specified value to the specified database.  XrmPutStringResource is a
    convenience function that first calls XrmStringToBindingQuarkList on the
    specifier and then calls XrmQPutResource, using a ``String'' representa-
    tion type.  If the specifier is not in the Host Portable Character Encod-
    ing the result is implementation dependent.  The value is stored in the
    database without modification.

    If database contains NULL, XrmQPutStringResource creates a new database
    and returns a pointer to it.  XrmQPutStringResource is a convenience rou-
    tine that constructs an XrmValue for the value string (by calling strlen
    to compute the size) and then calls XrmQPutResource, using a ``String''
    representation type.  The value is stored in the database without modifi-
    cation.

    If database contains NULL, XrmPutLineResource creates a new database and
    returns a pointer to it.  XrmPutLineResource adds a single resource entry
    to the specified database.  The line must be in valid ResourceLine format
    (see section 15.1 of Xlib - C Language X Interface).  The string is
    parsed in the locale of the database.  If the ResourceName is not in the
    Host Portable Character Encoding the result is implementation dependent.
    Note that comment lines are not stored.
