bionic (3) Tk::Xrm.3pm.gz

NAME

       Tk::Xrm - X Resource/Defaults/Options routines that obey the rules.

SYNOPSIS

          use Tk;
          use Tk::Xrm;

DESCRIPTION

       Using this modules causes Tk's Option code to be replaced by versions which use routines from
       <X11/Xresource.h> - i.e. same ones every other X toolkit uses.

       Result is that "matching" of name/Class with the options database follows the same rules as other X
       toolkits. This makes it more predictable, and makes it easier to have a single ~/.Xdefaults file which
       gives sensible results for both Tk and (say) Motif applications.

BUGS

       Currently optionAdd(key => value?, priority?) ignores optional priority completely and just does
       XrmPutStringResource().  Perhaps it should be more subtle and do XrmMergeDatabases() or
       XrmCombineDatabase().

       This version is a little slower than Tk's re-invention but there is more optimization that can be done.
