NAME
     XtGetSubresources, XtGetApplicationResources - obtain subresources or
     application resources

SYNTAX
     void XtGetSubresources(w, base, name, class, resources, num_resources,
     args, num_args)
           Widget w;
           caddr_t base;
           String name;
           String class;
           XtResourceList resources;
           Cardinal num_resources;
           ArgList args;
           Cardinal num_args;

     void XtGetApplicationResources(w, base, resources, num_resources, args,
     num_args)
           Widget w;
           caddr_t base;
           XtResourceList resources;
           Cardinal num_resources;
           ArgList args;
           Cardinal num_args;

ARGUMENTS
     args      Specifies the argument list to override resources obtained from
               the resource database.

     base      Specifies the base address of the subpart data structure where
               the resources should be written.

     class     Specifies the class of the subpart.

     name      Specifies the name of the subpart.

     num_args  Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

     num_resources
               Specifies the number of resources in the resource list.

     resources Specifies the resource list for the subpart.

     w         Specifies the widget that wants resources for a subpart or that
               identifies the resource database to search.

DESCRIPTION
     The XtGetSubresources function constructs a name/class list from the
     application name/class, the name/classes of all its ancestors, and the
     widget itself.  Then, it appends to this list the name/class pair passed
     in.  The resources are fetched from the argument list, the resource
     database, or the default values in the resource list.  Then, they are
     copied into the subpart record.  If args is NULL, num_args must be zero.
     However, if num_args is zero, the argument list is not referenced.

     The XtGetApplicationResources function first uses the passed widget,
     which is usually an application shell, to construct a resource name and
     class list, Then, it retrieves the resources from the argument list, the
     resource database, or the resource list default values.  After adding
     base to each address, XtGetApplicationResources copies the resources into
     the address given in the resource list.  If args is NULL, num_args must

     be zero.  However, if num_args is zero, the argument list is not
     referenced.  The portable way to specify application resources is to
     declare them as members of a structure and pass the address of the
     structure as the base argument.
