NAME
       XtGetApplicationResources, XtVaGetApplicationResources - obtain appli-
       cation resources

SYNTAX
       void XtGetApplicationResources(Widget w, XtPointer base, XtRe-
	      sourceList resources, Cardinal num_resources, ArgList args,
	      Cardinal num_args);

       void XtVaGetApplicationResources(Widget w, XtPointer base, XtRe-
	      sourceList resources, Cardinal num_resources, ...);

ARGUMENTS
       args	 Specifies the argument list to override resources obtained
		 from the resource database.

       base	 Specifies the base address of the subpart data structure
		 where the resources should be written.

       num_args	 Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

       num_resources
		 Specifies the number of resources in the resource list.

       resources Specifies the resource list for the subpart.  or that iden-
		 tifies the resource database to search

       w	 Specifies the widget that wants resources for a subpart.

       ...	 Specifies the variable arguments to override resources
		 obtained from the resource database.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtGetApplicationResources function first uses the passed widget,
       which is usually an application shell, to construct a resource name
       and class list, Then, it retrieves the resources from the argument
       list, the resource database, or the resource list default values.
       After adding base to each address, XtGetApplicationResources copies
       the resources into the address given in the resource list.  If args is
       NULL, num_args must be zero.  However, if num_args is zero, the argu-
       ment list is not referenced.  The portable way to specify application
       resources is to declare them as members of a structure and pass the
       address of the structure as the base argument.
