NAME

appres - list X application resource database

SYNOPSIS

appres [class [instance]] [-1] [toolkitoptions]

DESCRIPTION

The _a_p_p_r_e_s program prints the resources seen by an application (or subhierarchy of an application) with the specified _c_l_a_s_s and _i_n_s_t_a_n_c_e names. It can be used to determine which resources a particular program will load. For example, 


     % appres  XTerm


will list the resources that any _x_t_e_r_m program will load. If no application class is specified, the class _-_A_p_p_R_e_s_T_e_s_t_- is used.

To match a particular instance name, specify an instance name explicitly after the class name, or use the normal Xt toolkit option. For example, 


     % appres  XTerm  myxterm
or 
     % appres  XTerm  -name  myxterm

To list resources that match a subhierarchy of an application, specify hierarchical class and instance names. The number of class and instance components must be equal, and the instance name should not be specified with a toolkit option. For example, 


     % appres  Xman.TopLevelShell.Form  xman.topBox.form


will list the resources of widgets of _x_m_a_n topBox hierarchy. To list just the resources matching a specific level in the hierarchy, use the -1 option. For example, 


     % appres  XTerm.VT100  xterm.vt100  -1


will list the resources matching the _x_t_e_r_m vt100 widget.
