.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP \fIargc\fP 1i
Specifies a pointer to the number of command line parameters.
.IP \fIargv\fP 1i
Specifies the command line parameters.
.IP \fIapp_context\fP 1i
Specifies the application context.
.ds Ac , which usually is the generic name for all instances of this application
.IP \fIapplication_class\fP 1i
Specifies the class name of this application\*(Ac.
.IP \fIapplication_name\fP 1i
Specifies the name of the application instance.
.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
Specifies the display\*(Di.
Note that a display can be in at most one application context.
.IP \fInum_options\fP 1i
Specifies the number of entries in the options list.
.IP \fIoptions\fP 1i
Specifies how to parse the command line for any application-specific resources.
The options argument is passed as a parameter to
.ZN XrmParseCommand .
For further information,
see \fI\*(xL\fP.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.ZN XtDisplayInitialize
function builds the resource database, calls the Xlib
.ZN XrmParseCommand
function to parse the command line,
and performs other per display initialization.
After
.ZN XrmParseCommand
has been called,
argc and argv contain only those parameters that
were not in the standard option table or in the table specified by the
options argument.
If the modified argc is not zero,
most applications simply print out the modified argv along with a message
listing the allowable options.
On UNIX-based systems,
the application name is usually the final component of argv[0].
If the synchronize resource is
.ZN True
for the specified application,
.ZN XtDisplayInitialize
calls the Xlib
.ZN XSynchronize
function to put Xlib into synchronous mode for this display connection.
If the reverseVideo resource is
.ZN True ,
the \*(xI exchange
.ZN XtDefaultForeground
and
.ZN XtDefaultBackground
for widgets created on this display.
(See Section 9.6.1).
.LP
The
.ZN XtOpenDisplay
function calls
.ZN XOpenDisplay
the specified display name.
If display_string is NULL,
.ZN XtOpenDisplay
uses the current value of the \-display option specified in argv
and if no display is specified in argv,
uses the user's default display (on UNIX-based systems,
this is the value of the DISPLAY environment variable).
.LP
If this succeeds, it then calls
.ZN XtDisplayInitialize
and pass it the opened display and
the value of the \-name option specified in argv as the application name.
If no name option is specified,
it uses the application name passed to
.ZN XtOpenDisplay .
If the application name is NULL,
it uses the last component of argv[0].
.ZN XtOpenDisplay
returns the newly opened display or NULL if it failed.
.LP
.ZN XtOpenDisplay
is provided as a convenience to the application programmer.
.LP
The
.ZN XtCloseDisplay
function closes the specified display as soon as it is safe to do so.
If called from within an event dispatch (for example, a callback procedure),
.ZN XtCloseDisplay
does not close the display until the dispatch is complete.
Note that applications need only call
.ZN XtCloseDisplay
if they are to continue executing after closing the display;
otherwise, they should call
.ZN XtDestroyApplicationContext
or just exit.
.LP
The
.ZN XtDatabase
function returns the fully merged resource database that was built by
.ZN XtDisplayInitialize
associated with the display that was passed in.
If this display has not been initialized by
.ZN XtDisplayInitialize ,
the results are not defined.
