XtVaCreateArgsList(3Xt)  —  Subroutines

X11R6

NAME

XtVaCreateArgsList − dynamically allocate a varargs list

SYNOPSIS

XtVarArgsList XtVaCreateArgsList(unused, ...)
        XtPointer unused;

ARGUMENTS

unused
Must be specified as NULL.

...Specifies a variable parameter list of resource name and value pairs. 

DESCRIPTION

The XtVaCreateArgsList function allocates memory and copies its arguments into a single list pointer, which may be used with XtVaNestedList. The end of both lists is identified by a name entry containing NULL. Any entries of type XtVaTypedArg are copied as specified without applying conversions. Data passed by reference (including Strings) are not copied, only the pointers themselves; the caller must ensure that the data remain valid for the lifetime of the created varargs list. The list should be freed using XtFree when no longer needed.
