.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XrmGetResource
|
|
and
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetResource
|
|
functions retrieve a resource from the specified database.
|
|
Both take a fully qualified name/class pair, a destination
|
|
resource representation, and the address of a value
|
|
(size/address pair).
|
|
The value and returned type point into database memory;
|
|
therefore, you must not modify the data.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The database only frees or overwrites entries on
|
|
.ZN XrmPutResource ,
|
|
.ZN XrmQPutResource ,
|
|
or
|
|
.ZN XrmMergeDatabases .
|
|
A client that is not storing new values into the database or
|
|
is not merging the database should be safe using the address passed
|
|
back at any time until it exits.
|
|
If a resource was found, both
|
|
.ZN XrmGetResource
|
|
and
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetResource
|
|
return
|
|
.ZN True ;
|
|
otherwise, they return
|
|
.ZN False .
|

.LP

|
.EQ

.EN
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetSearchList
|
|
function takes a list of names and classes
|
|
and returns a list of database levels where a match might occur.
|
|
The returned list is in best-to-worst order and
|
|
uses the same algorithm as
|
|
.ZN XrmGetResource
|
|
for determining precedence.
|
|
If list_return was large enough for the search list,
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetSearchList
|
|
returns
|
|
.ZN True ;
|
|
otherwise, it returns
|
|
.ZN False .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The size of the search list that the caller must allocate is
|
|
dependent upon the number of levels and wildcards in the resource specifiers
|
|
that are stored in the database.
|
|
The worst case length is %3 sup n%,
|
|
where \fIn\fP is the number of name or class components in names or classes.
|
|
.LP
|
|
When using
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetSearchList
|
|
followed by multiple probes for resources with a common name and class prefix,
|
|
only the common prefix should be specified in the name and class list to
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetSearchList .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetSearchResource
|
|
function searches the specified database levels for the resource
|
|
that is fully identified by the specified name and class.
|
|
The search stops with the first match.
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetSearchResource
|
|
returns
|
|
.ZN True
|
|
if the resource was found;
|
|
otherwise, it returns
|
|
.ZN False .
|
|
.LP
|
|
A call to
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetSearchList
|
|
with a name and class list containing all but the last component
|
|
of a resource name followed by a call to
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetSearchResource
|
|
with the last component name and class returns the same database entry as
|
|
.ZN XrmGetResource
|
|
and
|
|
.ZN XrmQGetResource
|
|
with the fully qualified name and class.
|
|
.SH "MATCHING RULES"
|
|
The algorithm for determining which resource database entry
|
|
matches a given query is the heart of the resource manager.
|
|
All queries must fully specify the name and class of the desired resource
|
|
(use of "*" and "?" are not permitted).
|
|
The library supports up to 100 components in a full name or class.
|
|
Resources are stored in the database with only partially specified
|
|
names and classes, using pattern matching constructs.
|
|
An asterisk (*) is a loose binding and is used to represent any number
|
|
of intervening components, including none.
|
|
A period (.) is a tight binding and is used to separate immediately
|
|
adjacent components.
|
|
A question mark (?) is used to match any single component name or class.
|
|
A database entry cannot end in a loose binding;
|
|
the final component (which cannot be "?") must be specified.
|
|
The lookup algorithm searches the database for the entry that most
|
|
closely matches (is most specific for) the full name and class being queried.
|
|
When more than one database entry matches the full name and class,
|
|
precedence rules are used to select just one.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The full name and class are scanned from left to right (from highest
|
|
level in the hierarchy to lowest), one component at a time.
|
|
At each level, the corresponding component and/or binding of each
|
|
matching entry is determined, and these matching components and
|
|
bindings are compared according to precedence rules.
|
|
Each of the rules is applied at each level,
|
|
before moving to the next level,
|
|
until a rule selects a single entry over all others.
|
|
The rules (in order of precedence) are:
|
|
.IP 1. 5
|
|
An entry that contains a matching component (whether name, class, or "?")
|
|
takes precedence over entries that elide the level (that is, entries
|
|
that match the level in a loose binding).
|
|
.IP 2. 5
|
|
An entry with a matching name takes precedence over both
|
|
entries with a matching class and entries that match using "?".
|
|
An entry with a matching class takes precedence over
|
|
entries that match using "?".
|
|
.IP 3. 5
|
|
An entry preceded by a tight binding takes precedence over entries
|
|
preceded by a loose binding.
