NAME MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay --Allocates a hierarchy ID and opens all the UID files in the hierarchy SYNOPSIS #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h> Cardinal MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay (display, num_files, file_names_list, ancillary_structures_list, hierarchy_id) Display *display; MrmCount num_files; String file_names_list[]; MrmOsOpenParamPtr*ancillary_structures_list; MrmHierarchy *hierarchy_id; VERSION This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library. DESCRIPTION MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay allows you to specify the list of UID files that MRM searches in subsequent fetch operations. All subsequent fetch opera- tions return the first occurrence of the named item encountered while tra- versing the UID hierarchy from the first list element (UID file specifica- tion) to the last list element. This function also allocates a hierarchy ID and opens all the UID files in the hierarchy. It initializes the opti- mized search lists in the hierarchy. If MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay encoun- ters any errors during its execution, any files that were opened are closed. The application must call XtAppInitialize before calling MrmOpenHierarchy- PerDisplay. display Specifies the connection to the X server and the value to pass to XtResolvePathname. For more information on the Display structure, see the Xlib function XOpenDisplay. num_files Specifies the number of files in the name list. file_names_list Specifies an array of character strings that identify the UID files. ancillary_structures_list A list of operating-system-dependent ancillary structures corresponding to such things as filenames, clobber flag, and so forth. This argument should be NULL for most oper- ations. If you need to reference this structure, see the definition of MrmOsOpenParamPtr in MrmPublic.h for more information. hierarchy_id Returns the search hierarchy ID. The search hierarchy ID identifies the list of UID files that MRM searches (in or- der) when performing subsequent fetch calls. Each UID file string in file_names_list can specify either a full pathname or a filename. If a UID file string has a leading slash (/), it specifies a full pathname, and MRM opens the file as specified. Otherwise, the UID file string specifies a filename. In this case MRM looks for the file along a search path specified by the UIDPATH environment variable or by a default search path, which varies depending on whether or not the XAPPLRES- DIR environment variable is set. The UIDPATH environment variable specifies a search path and naming conven- tions associated with UID files. It can contain the substitution field %U, where the UID file string from the file_names_list argument to MrmOpenHier- archyPerDisplay is substituted for %U. It can also contain the substitu- tion fields accepted by XtResolvePathname. The substitution field %T is always mapped to uid. The entire path is first searched with %S mapped to .uid and then, if no file is found, is searched again with %S mapped to NULL. For example, the following UIDPATH value and MrmOpenHierarchyPerDis- play call cause MRM to open two separate UID files: UIDPATH=/uidlib/%L/%U.uid:/uidlib/%U/%L static char *uid_files[] = {"/usr/users/me/test.uid", "test2"}; MrmHierarchy *Hierarchy_id; MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay((MrmCount)2,uid_files, NULL, Hierarchy_id) MRM opens the first file, /usr/users/me/test.uid, as specified in the file_names_list argument to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay, because the UID file string in the file_names_list argument specifies a full pathname. MRM looks for the second file, test2, first as /uidlib/%L/test2.uid and second as /uidlib/test2/%L, where the display's language string is substituted for %L. After MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay opens the UID hierarchy, you should not delete or modify the UID files until you close the UID hierarchy by calling MrmCloseHierarchy. If UIDPATH is not set but the environment variable XAPPLRESDIR is set, MRM searches the following pathnames: %U%S $XAPPLRESDIR/%L/uid/%N/%U%S $XAPPLRESDIR/%l/uid/%N/%U%S $XAPPLRESDIR/uid/%N/%U%S $XAPPLRESDIR/%L/uid/%U%S $XAPPLRESDIR/%l/uid/%U%S $XAPPLRESDIR/uid/%U%S $HOME/uid/%U%S $HOME/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%N/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%N/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/uid/%N/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/uid/%U%S /usr/include/X11/uid/%U%S If neither UIDPATH nor XAPPLRESDIR is set, MRM searches the following path- names: %U%S $HOME/%L/uid/%N/%U%S $HOME/%l/uid/%N/%U%S $HOME/uid/%N/%U%S $HOME/%L/uid/%U%S $HOME/%l/uid/%U%S $HOME/uid/%U%S $HOME/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%N/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%N/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/uid/%N/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%U%S /usr/lib/X11/uid/%U%S /usr/include/X11/uid/%U%S These paths are defaults that vendors may change. For example, a vendor may use different directories for /usr/lib/X11 and /usr/include/X11. The following substitutions are used in these paths: %U The UID file string, from the file_names_list argument. %N The class name of the application. %L The display's language string. %l The language component of the display's language string. %S The suffix to the file name. The entire path is searched first with a suffix of .uil, and if no file is found, it is searched again with a NULL suffix. RETURN VALUE This function returns one of these status return constants: MrmSUCCESS The function executed successfully. MrmNOT_FOUND File not found. MrmFAILURE The function failed.
