XtAppInitialize(3Xt)		 XT FUNCTIONS		 XtAppInitialize(3Xt)



NAME
       XtAppInitialize, XtVaAppInitialize - initialize, open, or close a dis-
       play

SYNTAX
       Widget XtAppInitialize(XtAppContext* app_context_return, String appli-
	      cation_class, XrmOptionDescRec* options, Cardinal num_options,
	      int* argc_in_out, String* argv_in_out, String* fall-
	      back_resources, ArgList args, Cardinal num_args);

       Widget XtVaAppInitialize(XtAppContext* app_context_return, String
	      application_class, XrmOptionDescRec* options, Cardinal
	      num_options, int* argc_in_out, String* argv_in_out, String*
	      fallback_resources, ...);

ARGUMENTS
       app_context_return
		 Specifies the application context.

       application_class
		 Specifies the class name of this application, which usually
		 is the generic name for all instances of this application.

       options	 Specifies how to parse the command line for any application-
		 specific resources.  The options argument is passed as a
		 parameter to XrmParseCommand.	For further information, see
		 Xlib - C Language X Interface.

       num_options
		 Specifies the number of entries in the options list.

       argc_in_out
		 Specifies a pointer to the number of command line parame-
		 ters.

       argv_in_out
		 Specifies the command line parameters.

       fallback_resources
		 Specifies resource values to be used if the application
		 class resource file cannot be opened or read, or NULL.

       args	 Specifies the argument list to override any other resource
		 specification for the created shell widget.

       num_args	 Specifies the number of entries in the argument list.

       ...	 Specifies the variable argument list to override any other
		 resource specification for the created shell widget.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtAppInitialize function calls XtToolkitInitialize followed by
       XtCreateApplicationContext, then calls XtOpenDisplay with dis-
       play_string NULL and application_name NULL, and finally calls XtAp-
       pCreateShell with application_name NULL, widget_class application-
       ShellWidgetClass, and the specified args and num_args and returns the
       created shell. The modified argc and argv returned by XtDisplayIni-
       tialize are returned in argc_in_out and argv_in_out. If app_con-
       text_return is not NULL, the created application context is also
       returned. If the display specified by the command line cannot be
       opened, an error message is issued and XtAppInitialize terminates the
       application. If fallback_resources is non-NULL,
       XtAppSetFallbackResources is called with the value prior to calling
       XtOpenDisplay.

       XtAppInitialize and XtVaAppInitialize have been superceded by XtOpe-
       nApplication and XtVaOpenApplication respectively.
