void XrmParseCommand(database, table, table_count, name,
argc_in_out,
                       argv_in_out,)

ARGUMENTS

argc_in_out

Specifies the number of arguments and returns the number of remaining arguments.

argv_in_out

Specifies a pointer to the command line arguments and returns the remaining arguments.

database Specifies a pointer to the resource database.

name Specifies the application name.

DESCRIPTION

The XrmInitialize function initialize the resource manager.

     The XrmParseCommand function parses an (argc, argv) pair
     according to the specified option table, loads recognized
     options into the specified database with type ``String,''
     and modifies the (argc, argv) pair to remove all recognized
     options.

     The specified table is used to parse the command line.
     Recognized entries in the table are removed from argv, and
     entries are made in the specified resource database.  The
     table entries contain information on the option string, the
     option name, the style of option, and a value to provide if
     the option kind is XrmoptionNoArg.  The argc argument speci-
     fies the number of arguments in argv and is set to the

     remaining number of arguments that were not parsed.  The
     name argument should be the name of your application for use
     in building the database entry.  The name argument is pre-
     fixed to the resourceName in the option table before storing
     the specification.  No separating (binding) character is
     inserted.  The table must contain either a period (.) or an
     asterisk (*) as the first character in each resourceName
     entry.  To specify a more completely qualified resource
     name, the resourceName entry can contain multiple com-
     ponents.
