PARAMETERS

bindings_return
Returns the binding list.

quarkSpecifies the quark for which the equivalent string is desired. 

quarks_return
Returns the list of quarks.

stringSpecifies the string for which a quark is to be allocated. 

DESCRIPTION

The XrmUniqueQuark function allocates a quark that is guaranteed not to represent any string that is known to the resource manager.

These functions can be used to convert to and from quark representations.  The string pointed to by the return value must not be modified or freed.  If no string exists for that quark, XrmQuarkToString returns NULL.

The XrmQuarkToString function converts the specified resource quark representation back to a string.

The XrmStringToQuarkList function converts the null-terminated string (generally a fully qualified name) to a list of quarks. Note that the string must be in the valid ResourceName format (see section 10.11). The components of the string are separated by a period or asterisk character.

A binding list is a list of type XrmBindingList and indicates if components of name or class lists are bound tightly or loosely (that is, if wildcarding of intermediate components is specified).

typedef enum {XrmBindTightly, XrmBindLoosely} XrmBinding, ∗XrmBindingList;

XrmBindTightly indicates that a period separates the components, and XrmBindLoosely indicates that an asterisk separates the components.

The XrmStringToBindingQuarkList function converts the specified string to a binding list and a quark list. Component names in the list are separated by a period or an asterisk character. If the string does not start with period or asterisk, a period is assumed. For example, “∗a.b∗c” becomes:

quarksabc
bindingsloosetightloose
