XrmMergeDatabases(3X11)

     NAME
          XrmMergeDatabases, XrmCombineDatabase,
          XrmCombineFileDatabase - merge resource databases

     SYNTAX
          void XrmMergeDatabases(source_db, target_db)
                XrmDatabase source_db, *target_db;

          void XrmCombineDatabase(source_db, target_db, override)
                XrmDatabase source_db, *target_db;
                Bool override;

          Status XrmCombineFileDatabase(filename, target_db, override)
                char *filename;
                XrmDatabase *target_db;
                Bool override;

     ARGUMENTS
          source_db Specifies the resource database that is to be
                    merged into the target database.

          target_db Specifies the resource database into which the
                    source database is to be merged.

          filename  Specifies the resource database file name.

          override  Specifies whether source entries override target
                    ones.

     DESCRIPTION
          Calling the XrmMergeDatabases function is equivalent to
          calling the XrmCombineDatabase function with an override
          argument of True.

          The XrmCombineDatabase function merges the contents of one
          database into another.  If the same specifier is used for an
          entry in both databases, the entry in the source_db will
          replace the entry in the target_db if override is True;
          otherwise, the entry in source_db is discarded.  If
          target_db contains NULL, XrmCombineDatabase simply stores
          source_db in it.  Otherwise, source_db is destroyed by the
          merge, but the database pointed to by target_db is not
          destroyed.  The database entries are merged without changing
          values or types, regardless of the locales of the databases.
          The locale of the target database is not modified.

          The XrmCombineFileDatabase function merges the contents of a
          resource file into a database.  If the same specifier is
          used for an entry in both the file and the database, the
          entry in the file will replace the entry in the database if
          override is True; otherwise, the entry in the file is
          discarded.  The file is parsed in the current locale.  If
          the file cannot be read, a zero status is returned;
          otherwise, a nonzero status is returned.  If target_db
          contains NULL, XrmCombineFileDatabase creates and returns a
          new database to it.  Otherwise, the database pointed to by
          target_db is not destroyed by the merge.  The database
          entries are merged without changing values or types,
          regardless of the locale of the database.  The locale of the
          target database is not modified.
