appres - list X application resource database
appres [class [instance]] [-1] [toolkitoptions]
The appres program prints the resources seen by an application
(or subhierarchy of an application) with the specified
class and instance names. It can be used to determine
which resources a particular program will load. For
example, % appres XTerm
will list the resources that any xterm program will load.
If no application class is specified, the class
-AppResTest- 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 xman 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 xterm vt100 widget.
