NAME

XtScreenDatabase − obtain the resource database for a screen. 

Synopsis

XrmDatabase XtScreenDatabase(screen)

    Screen *screen;

Inputs

screenSpecifies the screen for which the database should be obtained. 

Returns

The resource database of screen. 

Availability

Release 5 and later. 

Description

XtScreenDatabase() returns the fully merged resource database for the specified screen.  If that database has not already been built (by XtDisplayInitialize(), for example), XtScreenDatabase() builds it.  If the specified screen does not belong to a display initialized by XtDisplayInitialize(), the results are undefined.  See XtDisplayInitialize() for a description of how a resource database is built for a screen. 

Usage

XtDatabase() returns the database associated with the default screen of a display.  Prior to Release 5, this database was used for all screens of a display.  You should rarely need to use the database of a screen or display directly.  XtGetApplicationResources() and related functions provide a more manageable approach to obtaining resource values. 

Structures

XrmDatabase is an opaque data type.
