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;
void 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 data‐
base is to be merged.
filename Specifies the resource database file name.
DESCRIPTION
The 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 (that is, it over‐
rides target_db). If target_db contains NULL, simply stores source_db
in it. Otherwise, source_db is destroyed by the merge, but the data‐
base 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 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 other‐
wise, the entry in source_db is discarded. If target_db contains NULL,
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 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 otherwise, the entry in 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 con‐
tains NULL, 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, regard‐
less of the locale of the database. The locale of the target database
is not modified.
