The  XrmUniqueQuark  function allocates a quark that is guaranteed not to represent any string that is known to the resource manager. These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representation. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the conversion is implementation-dependent. The string argument to  XrmStringToQuark  need not be permanently allocated storage.  XrmPermStringToQuark  is just like  XrmStringToQuark , except that Xlib is permitted to assume the string argument is permanently allocated, and, hence, that it can be used as the value to be returned by  XrmQuarkToString . For any given quark, if  XrmStringToQuark  returns a non-NULL value, all future calls will return the same value (identical address). These functions can be used to convert from quark representation to string. The string pointed to by the return value must not be modified or freed. The returned string is byte-for-byte equal to the original string passed to one of the string-to-quark routines. If no string exists for that quark,  XrmQuarkToString  returns NULL. For any given quark, if  XrmQuarkToString  returns a non-NULL value, all future calls will return the same value (identical address). These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representation. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the conversion is implementation-dependent. The string argument to  XrmStringToQuark  need not be permanently allocated storage.  XrmPermStringToQuark  is just like  XrmStringToQuark , except that Xlib is permitted to assume the string argument is permanently allocated, and, hence, that it can be used as the value to be returned by  XrmQuarkToString . For any given quark, if  XrmStringToQuark  returns a non-NULL value, all future calls will return the same value (identical address). The  XrmStringToQuarkList  function converts the null-terminated string (generally a fully qualified name) to a list of quarks. The caller must allocate sufficient space for the quarks list before calling  XrmStringToQuarkList . Note that the string must be in the valid ResourceName format (see section 15.1). If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the conversion is implementation-dependent. A binding list is a list of type  XrmBindingList  and indicates if components of name or class lists are bound tightly or loosely (that is, if wildcarding of intermediate components is specified). typedef enum {XrmBindTightly, XrmBindLoosely} XrmBinding, *XrmBindingList;  XrmBindTightly  indicates that a period separates the components, and  XrmBindLoosely  indicates that an asterisk separates the components. The  XrmStringToBindingQuarkList  function converts the specified string to a binding list and a quark list. The caller must allocate sufficient space for the quarks list and the binding list before calling  XrmStringToBindingQuarkList . If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding the conversion is implementation-dependent. Component names in the list are separated by a period or an asterisk character. If the string does not start with period or asterisk, a period is assumed. For example, “*a.b*c” becomes: quarks a b c bindings loose tight loose XrmGetResource(3X11), XrmInitialize(3X11), XrmMergeDatabases(3X11), XrmPutResource(3X11) Xlib - C Language X Interface
