NAME

       XResourceManagerString, XScreenResourceString - obtain server resource properties

SYNTAX

       char *XResourceManagerString(Display *display);

ARGUMENTS

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

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.
