.SH ARGUMENTS
.IP \fIbindings_return\fP 1i
Returns the binding list.
.IP \fIquark\fP 1i
Specifies the quark for which the equivalent string is desired.
.IP \fIquarks_return\fP 1i
Returns the list of quarks.
.ds Ql \ or quark list
.IP \fIstring\fP 1i
Specifies the string for which a quark\*(Ql is to be allocated.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.ZN XrmUniqueQuark
function allocates a quark that is guaranteed not to represent any string that
is known to the resource manager.
.LP
These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representation.
If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the conversion is implementation-dependent.
The string argument to
.ZN XrmStringToQuark
need not be permanently allocated storage.
.ZN XrmPermStringToQuark
is just like
.ZN XrmStringToQuark ,
except that Xlib is permitted to assume the string argument is permanently
allocated,
and, hence, that it can be used as the value to be returned by
.ZN XrmQuarkToString .
.LP
For any given quark, if
.ZN XrmStringToQuark
returns a non-NULL value,
all future calls will return the same value (identical address).
.LP
These functions can be used to convert from quark representation to string.
The string pointed to by the return value must not be modified or freed.
The returned string is byte-for-byte equal to the original
string passed to one of the string-to-quark routines.
If no string exists for that quark,
.ZN XrmQuarkToString
returns NULL.
For any given quark, if
.ZN XrmQuarkToString
returns a non-NULL value,
all future calls will return the same value (identical address).

all future calls will return the same value (identical address).
.LP
The
.ZN XrmStringToQuarkList
function converts the null-terminated string (generally a fully qualified name)
to a list of quarks.
The caller must allocate sufficient space for the quarks list before calling
.ZN XrmStringToQuarkList .
Note that the string must be in the valid ResourceName format
(see section 15.1).
If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the conversion is implementation-dependent.
.LP
A binding list is a list of type
.ZN XrmBindingList
and indicates if components of name or class lists are bound tightly or loosely
(that is, if wildcarding of intermediate components is specified).
.LP
.EX
typedef enum {XrmBindTightly, XrmBindLoosely} XrmBinding, *XrmBindingList;
.EE
.LP
.ZN XrmBindTightly
indicates that a period separates the components, and
.ZN XrmBindLoosely
indicates that an asterisk separates the components.
.LP
The
.ZN XrmStringToBindingQuarkList
function converts the specified string to a binding list and a quark list.
The caller must allocate sufficient space for the quarks list and the
binding list before calling
.ZN XrmStringToBindingQuarkList .
If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding
the conversion is implementation-dependent.
Component names in the list are separated by a period or
an asterisk character.
If the string does not start with period or asterisk,
a period is assumed.
For example, ``*a.b*c'' becomes:
