XrmMergeDatabases()					   XrmMergeDatabases()

Name
  XrmMergeDatabases – merge the contents of one database into another.

Synopsis
  void XrmMergeDatabases(source_db, target_db)
	XrmDatabase source_db, *target_db;

Arguments
  source_db Specifies  the resource database to be merged into the exist‐
	    ing database.

  target_db Specifies a pointer to the resource database into  which  the
	    source_db database will be merged.

Description
  XrmMergeDatabases() merges source_db into target_db.	This procedure is
  used to combine databases, for example, an application  specific  data‐
  base of defaults and a database of user preferences.	If the same spec‐
  ifier is used for  an	 entry	in  both  databases,  the  entry  in  the
  source_db  will  replace  the entry in the target_db (that is, it over‐
  rides
  target_db).	If  target_db  is NULL, XrmMergeDatabases() 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.

  For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 13, Managing User Prefer‐
  ences.

Structures
  XrmDatabase is a pointer to an opaque data type.
