XrmQGetSearchResource()XrmQGetSearchResource()Name
XrmQGetSearchResource – search prepared list for a given resource.
Synopsis
Bool XrmQGetSearchResource(list, name, class, type_return,
value_return)
XrmSearchList list;
XrmName name;
XrmClass class;
XrmRepresentation *type_return;
XrmValue *value_return;
Arguments
list Specifies the search list returned by XrmQGetSearchList().
name Specifies the resource name.
class Specifies the resource class.
type_return
Returns the data representation type.
value_return
Returns the value from the database.
Returns
True if the resource was found, else False.
DescriptionXrmQGetSearchResource() is a tool for searching the database more effi‐
ciently. It is used in combination with XrmQGetSearchList(). Often,
one searches the database for many similar resources which differ only
in their final component (e.g., xmh.toc.foreground, xmh.toc.background,
etc). Rather than looking for each resource in its entirety, XrmQGet‐
SearchList() searches the database for the common part of the resource
name, returning a whole list of items in the database that match it.
This list is called the search list. XrmQGetSearchResource() searches
the search list for the resource that is fully identified by name and
class. The search stops with the first match. XrmQGetSearchResource()
returns True if the resource was found; otherwise, it returns False.
A call to XrmQGetSearchList() with a name and class list containing all
but the last component of a resource name followed by a call to
XrmQGetSearchResource() with the last component name and class returns
the same database entry as XrmQGetResource() or XrmQGetResource() would
with the fully qualified name and class.
