XtAppSetFallbackResources(3)
set fallback resources
SYNTAX
-
- void XtAppSetFallbackResources(XtAppContext app_context, String*
specification_list);
ARGUMENTS
- app_context
-
Specifies the application context.
- specification_list
-
Specifies a NULL-terminated list of resource specifications to pre-load
the database, or NULL.
DESCRIPTION
Each entry in specification_list points to a string in the format
XrmPutLineResource.
following a call to
XtAppSetFallbackResources,
when a resource database is being created for a particular screen and
the Intrinsics are not able to find or read an application-specific
class resource file and if specification_list is not NULL the
resource specification in specification_list will be merged
into the screen resource database in place of the application-specific
class resource file.
XtAppSetFallbackResources
is not required to copy specification_list; the caller must
ensure that the contents of the list and the strings addressed by the
list remain valid until all displays are initialized or until
XtAppSetFallbackResources
is called again. The value NULL for specification_list removes
any previous fallback resource specification for the application context.
The intended use for fallback resources is to provide a minimal number
of resources that will make the application usable (or at least terminate
with helpful diagnostic messages) when some problem exists in finding
and loading the application defaults file.
