Description

XtGetErrorDatabaseText has been superseded by XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText.  XtGetErrorDatabaseText returns the appropriate message from the error database for name and type.  If no such entry exists, it returns the specified default message.  On based systems, the error database is usually stored in /usr/lib/X11/XtErrorDb.  Custom error or warning messages should be appended to this file.  The address  of the loaded database can be returned by a call to XtGetErrorDatabase.
