- The _X_r_m_G_e_t_F_i_l_e_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e function opens the specified file,
- creates a new resource database, and loads it with the
- specifications read in from the specified file. The spec-
- ified file should contain a sequence of entries in valid
- ResourceLine format (see section 15.1); the database that
- results from reading a file with incorrect syntax is
- implementation-dependent. The file is parsed in the cur-
- rent locale, and the database is created in the current
- locale. If it cannot open the specified file, _X_r_m_G_e_t_F_i_l_e_-
- _D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e returns NULL.

- The _X_r_m_P_u_t_F_i_l_e_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e function stores a copy of the spec-
- ified database in the specified file. Text is written to
- the file as a sequence of entries in valid ResourceLine
- format (see section 15.1). The file is written in the
- locale of the database. Entries containing resource names
- that are not in the Host Portable Character Encoding or
- containing values that are not in the encoding of the
- database locale, are written in an implementation-
- dependent manner. The order in which entries are written
- is implementation-dependent. Entries with representation
- types other than ``String'' are ignored.
-
- The _X_r_m_G_e_t_S_t_r_i_n_g_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e function creates a new database
- and stores the resources specified in the specified null-
- terminated string. _X_r_m_G_e_t_S_t_r_i_n_g_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e is similar to
- _X_r_m_G_e_t_F_i_l_e_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e except that it reads the information
- out of a string instead of out of a file. The string
- should contain a sequence of entries in valid ResourceLine
- format (see section 15.1) terminated by a null character;
- the database that results from using a string with incor-
- rect syntax is implementation-dependent. The string is
- parsed in the current locale, and the database is created
- in the current locale.
-
- If database is NULL, _X_r_m_D_e_s_t_r_o_y_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e returns immedi-
- ately.
-
- The _X_r_m_L_o_c_a_l_e_O_f_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e function returns the name of the
- locale bound to the specified database, as a null-
- terminated string. The returned locale name string is
- owned by Xlib and should not be modified or freed by the
- client. Xlib is not permitted to free the string until
- the database is destroyed. Until the string is freed, it
- will not be modified by Xlib.
-
- The _X_r_m_G_e_t_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e function returns the database associ-
- ated with the specified display. It returns NULL if a
- database has not yet been set.
-
- The _X_r_m_S_e_t_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e function associates the specified
- resource database (or NULL) with the specified display.
- The database previously associated with the display (if
- any) is not destroyed. A client or toolkit may find this
- function convenient for retaining a database once it is
- constructed.

- The syntax of a resource file is a sequence of resource
- lines terminated by newline characters or the end of the
- file. The syntax of an individual resource line is:
-
- ResourceLine = Comment | IncludeFile | ResourceSpec | <empty line>
- Comment = "!" {<any character except null or newline>}
- IncludeFile = "#" WhiteSpace "include" WhiteSpace FileName WhiteSpace

- FileName = <valid filename for operating system>
- ResourceSpec = WhiteSpace ResourceName WhiteSpace ":" WhiteSpace Value
- ResourceName = [Binding] {Component Binding} ComponentName
- Binding = "." | "*"
- WhiteSpace = {<space> | <horizontal tab>}
- Component = "?" | ComponentName
- ComponentName = NameChar {NameChar}
- NameChar = "a"-"z" | "A"-"Z" | "0"-"9" | "_" | "-"
- Value = {<any character except null or unescaped newline>}
-
- Elements separated by vertical bar (|) are alternatives.
- Curly braces ({...}) indicate zero or more repetitions of
- the enclosed elements. Square brackets ([...]) indicate
- that the enclosed element is optional. Quotes ("...") are
- used around literal characters.
-
- IncludeFile lines are interpreted by replacing the line
- with the contents of the specified file. The word
- ``include'' must be in lowercase. The file name is inter-
- preted relative to the directory of the file in which the
- line occurs (for example, if the file name contains no
- directory or contains a relative directory specification).
-
- If a ResourceName contains a contiguous sequence of two or
- more Binding characters, the sequence will be replaced
- with single ``.'' character if the sequence contains only
- ``.'' characters; otherwise, the sequence will be replaced
- with a single ``*'' character.
-
- A resource database never contains more than one entry for
- a given ResourceName. If a resource file contains multi-
- ple lines with the same ResourceName, the last line in the
- file is used.
-
- Any white space characters before or after the name or
- colon in a ResourceSpec are ignored. To allow a Value to
- begin with white space, the two-character sequence
- ``\_s_p_a_c_e'' (backslash followed by space) is recognized and
- replaced by a space character, and the two-character
- sequence ``\_t_a_b'' (backslash followed by horizontal tab)
- is recognized and replaced by a horizontal tab character.
- To allow a Value to contain embedded newline characters,
- the two-character sequence ``\n'' is recognized and
- replaced by a newline character. To allow a Value to be
- broken across multiple lines in a text file, the two-
- character sequence ``\_n_e_w_l_i_n_e'' (backslash followed by
- newline) is recognized and removed from the value. To
- allow a Value to contain arbitrary character codes, the
- four-character sequence ``\_n_n_n'', where each _n is a digit
- character in the range of ``0''-``7'', is recognized and
- replaced with a single byte that contains the octal value
- specified by the sequence. Finally, the two-character
- sequence ``\\'' is recognized and replaced with a single
- backslash.
