XrmQuarkToString() XrmQuarkToString()
Name
XrmQuarkToString – convert a quark to a string.
Synopsis
char *XrmQuarkToString(quark)
XrmQuark quark;
Arguments
quark Specifies the quark for which the equivalent string is
desired.
Returns
The string.
Description
XrmQuarkToString() returns the string for which the specified quark is
serving as a shorthand symbol. The quark was earlier set to represent
the string by XrmStringToQuark(). The string pointed to by the return
value must not be modified or freed, because that string is in the data
structure used by the resource manager for assigning quarks. If no
string exists for that quark, XrmQuarkToString() returns NULL.
Since the resource manager needs to make many comparisons of strings
when it gets data from the database, it is more efficient to convert
these strings into quarks, and to compare quarks instead. Since quarks
are represented by integers, comparing quarks is trivial.
The three #define statements in the Structures section provide an extra
level of abstraction. They define macros so that names, classes and
representations can also be represented as quarks.
For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 13, Managing User Prefer‐
ences.
