NAME

XrmMergeDatabases, XrmCombineDatabase, XrmCombineFileDatabase - merge resource databases

SYNTAX

void XrmMergeDatabases(XrmDatabase _s_o_u_r_c_e___d_b, XrmDatabase *_t_a_r_g_e_t___d_b); void XrmCombineDatabase(XrmDatabase _s_o_u_r_c_e___d_b, XrmDatabase *_t_a_r_g_e_t___d_b, Bool _o_v_e_r_r_i_d_e); Status XrmCombineFileDatabase(char *_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e, XrmDatabase *_t_a_r_g_e_t___d_b, Bool _o_v_e_r_r_i_d_e);

ARGUMENTS

_s_o_u_r_c_e___d_b Specifies the resource database that is to be merged into the target database.
_t_a_r_g_e_t___d_b Specifies the resource database into which the source
database is to be merged.
_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e Specifies the resource database file name.
_o_v_e_r_r_i_d_e Specifies whether source entries override target ones.

DESCRIPTION

Calling the _X_r_m_M_e_r_g_e_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e_s function is equivalent to calling the _X_r_m_C_o_m_b_i_n_e_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e function with an override argument of _T_r_u_e.

The _X_r_m_C_o_m_b_i_n_e_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e 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 _T_r_u_e; otherwise, the entry in source_db is discarded. If target_db contains NULL, _X_r_m_C_o_m_b_i_n_e_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e 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 _X_r_m_C_o_m_b_i_n_e_F_i_l_e_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e 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 _T_r_u_e; otherwise, the entry in the 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 contains NULL, _X_r_m_C_o_m_b_i_n_e_F_i_l_e_D_a_t_a_b_a_s_e 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, regardless of the locale of the database. The locale of the target database is not modified.
