     NAME
          MrmRegisterNames - Registers the values associated with the
          names referenced in UIL (for example, UIL callback function
          names or UIL identifier names)

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
          Cardinal MrmRegisterNames(
          MrmRegisterArglist register_list,
          MrmCount register_count);

     VERSION

     DESCRIPTION
          The MrmRegisterNamesfunction registers a vector of names and
          associated values for access in MRM.  The values can be
          callback functions, pointers to user-defined data, or any
          other values.  The information provided is used to resolve
          symbolic references occurring in UID files to their run-time
          values.  For callbacks, this information provides the
          procedure address required by the Motif Toolkit.  For names
          used as identifiers in UIL, this information provides any
          run-time mapping the application needs.

          This function is similar to MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchy,
          except that the scope of the names registered by
          MrmRegisterNamesInHierarchyis limited to the hierarchy
          specified in the call to that function, whereas the names
          registered by MrmRegisterNameshave global scope.  When MRM
          looks up a name, it first tries to find the name among those
          registered for the given hierarchy.  If that lookup fails,
          it tries to find the name among those registered globally.

          register_list
                    Specifies a list of name/value pairs for the names
                    to be registered.  Each name is a case-sensitive,
                    NULL-terminated ASCII string.  Each value is a
                    32-bit quantity, interpreted as a procedure
                    address if the name is a callback function, and
                    uninterpreted otherwise.

          register_count
                    Specifies the number of entries in register_list.

          The names in the list are case-sensitive.  The list can be
          either ordered or unordered.

          Callback functions registered through MrmRegisterNamescan be
          either regular or creation callbacks.  Regular callbacks
          have declarations determined by Motif Toolkit and user
          requirements.  Creation callbacks have the same format as
          any other callback:

          void CallBackProc(
          Widget *widget_id,
          Opaque tag,
          XmAnyCallbackStruct *callback_data);

          widget_id Specifies the widget ID associated with the widget
                    performing the callback (as in any callback
                    function).

          tag       Specifies the tag value (as in any callback
                    function).

          callback_data
                    Specifies a widget-specific data structure.  This
                    data structure has a minimum of two members: event
                    and reason.  The reason member is always set to
                    MrmCR_CREATE.

          Note that the widget name and parent are available from the
          widget record accessible through widget_id.

     RETURN
          This function returns one of the following status return
          constants:

          MrmSUCCESS
                    The function executed successfully.

          MrmFAILURE
                    The function failed.
