Name
XResourceManagerString - obtain server resource properties
Syntax
char *XResourceManagerString(display)
Display *display;
char *XScreenResourceString(screen)
Screen *screen;
Arguments
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
screen Specifies the screen.
Description
The XResourceManagerString returns the RESOURCEMANAGER property from the
server's root window of screen zero, which was returned when the connec-
tion was opened using XOpenDisplay. The property is converted from type
STRING to the current locale. The conversion is identical to that pro-
duced by XmbTextPropertyToTextList for a singleton STRING property. The
returned string is owned by Xlib, and should not be freed by the client.
Note that the property value must be in a format that is acceptable to
XrmGetStringDatabase. If no property exists, NULL is returned.
The XStringResourceString returns the SCREENRESOURCES property from the
root window of the specified screen. The property is converted from type
STRING to the current locale. The conversion is identical to that pro-
duced by XmbTextPropertyToTextList for a singleton STRING property. Note
that the property value must be in a format that is acceptable to
XrmGetStringDatabase. If no property exists, NULL is returned. The
caller is responsible for freeing the returned string, using XFree.
