Tk::Xrm(3) perl/Tk Documentation Tk::Xrm(3)NAMETk::Xrm - X Resource/Defaults/Options routines that obey
the rules.
SYNOPSIS
use Tk;
use Tk::Xrm;
DESCRIPTION
Using this modules causes Tk's Option code to be replaced
by versions which use routines from <X11/Xresource.h> -
i.e. same ones every other X toolkit uses.
Result is that "matching" of name/Class with the options
database follows the same rules as other X toolkits. This
makes it more predictable, and makes it easier to have a
single ~/.Xdefaults file which gives sensible results for
both Tk and (say) Motif applications.
BUGS
Currently optionAdd('key' = 'value' [, priority])> ignores
optional priority completely and just does
XrmPutStringResource(). Perhaps it should be more subtle
and do XrmMergeDatabases() or XrmCombineDatabase().
This version is a little slower than Tk's re-invention but
there is more optimization that can be done.
