NAME

       XResourceManagerString, XScreenResourceString - obtain server resource properties

SYNTAX

       char *XResourceManagerString(Display *display);

       char *XScreenResourceString(Screen *screen);

ARGUMENTS

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       screen    Specifies the screen.

DESCRIPTION

       The XResourceManagerString function returns the RESOURCE_MANAGER property from the server's root window
       of screen zero, which was returned when the connection was opened using XOpenDisplay.  The property is
       converted from type STRING to the current locale.  The conversion is identical to that produced by
       XmbTextPropertyToTextList for a single element STRING property.  The returned string is owned by Xlib and
       should not be freed by the client.  The property value must be in a format that is acceptable to
       XrmGetStringDatabase.  If no property exists, NULL is returned.

       The XScreenResourceString function returns the SCREEN_RESOURCES property from the root window of the
       specified screen.  The property is converted from type STRING to the current locale.  The conversion is
       identical to that produced by XmbTextPropertyToTextList for a single element STRING property.  The
       property value must be in a format that is acceptable to XrmGetStringDatabase.  If no property exists,
       NULL is returned.  The caller is responsible for freeing the returned string by using XFree.
