Ubuntu Manpage: MrmOpenHierarchy — Allocates a hierarchy ID and opens all the UID files in the hierarchy

NAME

       MrmOpenHierarchy   —   Allocates   a  hierarchy  ID  and  opens  all  the  UID  files  in  the  hierarchy
       "MrmOpenHierarchy" "uil functions" "MrmOpenHierarchy"

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Mrm/MrmPublic.h>
       Cardinal MrmOpenHierarchy(
       MrmCount num_files,
       String file_names_list[],
       MrmOsOpenParamPtr *ancillary_structures_list,
       MrmHierarchy *hierarchy_id);
       "MRM function" "MrmOpenHierarchy" "MrmOpenHierarchy" "definition"

DESCRIPTION

This routine is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases. It is replaced by
MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay. MrmOpenHierarchy is identical to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay except that
MrmOpenHierarchy does not take a display argument.

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 items such as
filenames, clobber flags, and so forth. This argument should be NULL for most operations. If
you need to reference this structure, see the definition of MrmOsOpenParamPtr in the
MrmPublic.h header file for more information.

hierarchy_id
Returns the search hierarchy ID. The search hierarchy ID identifies the list of UID files that
MRM searches (in order) 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 XAPPLRESDIR environment variable is set.

The UIDPATH environment variable specifies a search path and naming conventions associated with UID
files. It can contain the substitution field %U, where the UID file string from the file_names_list
argument to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay is substituted for %U. It can also contain the substitution
fields accepted by XtResolvePathname. The substitution field %T is always mapped to uid. The entire
path is first searched with %S mapped to .uid. If no file is found, it is searched again with %S mapped
to NULL.

If no display is set prior to calling this function, the result of this function's call to
XtResolvePathname is undefined.

For example, the following UIDPATH value and MrmOpenHierarchy 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;
MrmOpenHierarchy((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
MrmOpenHierarchy, 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 MrmOpenHierarchy 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 pathnames:

• %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. This string is influenced by XtSetLanguageProc. The default
string is determined by calling setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL).

%l The language component of the display's language string.

%S The suffix to the filename. The entire path is first searched with a suffix of .uid. If no
file is found, it is searched again with a NULL suffix.

RETURN

       "MrmFAILURE"

       MrmSUCCESS
                 The function executed successfully.

       MrmNOT_FOUND
