NAME

       MrmFetchLiteral  —  Fetches  a  literal  from a UID file "MrmFetchLiteral" "uil functions"
       "MrmFetchLiteral"

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
       Cardinal MrmFetchLiteral(
       MrmHierarchy hierarchy_id,
       String index,
       Display *display,
       XtPointer *value,
       MrmCode *type);
       "MRM function" "MrmFetchLiteral" "MrmFetchLiteral" "definition"

DESCRIPTION

       The MrmFetchLiteral function "MrmFetchLiteral" "description" reads and returns  the  value
       and  type  of  a literal (named value) that is stored as a public resource in a single UID
       file.  This function returns a pointer to the value  of  the  literal.   For  example,  an
       integer  is always returned as a pointer to an integer, and a string is always returned as
       a pointer to a string.

       Applications should not use MrmFetchLiteral for fetching icon or color literals.  If  this
       is attempted, MrmFetchLiteral returns an error.

       hierarchy_id
                 Specifies  the ID of the UID hierarchy that contains the specified literal.  The
                 value   of   hierarchy_id   was    returned    in    a    previous    call    to
                 MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay.

       index     Specifies  the  UIL name of the literal (pixmap) to fetch.  You must define this
                 name in UIL as an exported value.

       display   Specifies the display used for the pixmap.  The display argument  specifies  the
                 connection  to the X server.  For more information on the Display structure, see
                 the Xlib function XOpenDisplay.

       value     Returns the ID of the named literal's value.  The function allocates  space  for
                 the  returned  value.  The application is responsible for managing the allocated
                 space by calling the appropriate deallocation  function.  For  example,  if  the
                 returned  ID symbolizes a pixmap, then the application can recover the allocated
                 space by calling XmDestroyPixmap.

       type      Returns the named literal's data type.  Types are defined in  the  include  file
                 Mrm/MrmPublic.h.

RETURN

       "MrmSUCCESS" "MrmBAD_HIERARCHY" "MrmNOT_FOUND" "MrmFAILURE"

       This function returns one of the following status return constants:

       MrmSUCCESS
                 The function executed successfully.

       MrmBAD_HIERARCHY
                 The hierarchy ID was invalid.

       MrmNOT_FOUND
                 The literal was not found in the UIL file.

       MrmWRONG_TYPE
                 The caller tried to fetch a literal of a type not supported by this function.

       MrmFAILURE
                 The function failed.
