XrmStringToQuark() XrmStringToQuark()
Name
XrmStringToQuark, XrmStringToName, XrmStringToClass, XrmStringToRepre‐
sentation – convert a string to a quark.
Synopsis
XrmQuark XrmStringToQuark(string)
char *string;
#define XrmStringToName(string) XrmStringToQuark(string) #define
XrmStringToClass(string) XrmStringToQuark(string) #define XrmString‐
ToRepresentation(string) XrmStringToQuark(string)
Arguments
string Specifies the string for which a quark is to be allocated.
Returns
The quark.
Description
XrmStringToQuark() returns a quark that will represent the specified
string. If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding,
the conversion is implementation-dependent. Since string is copied, it
may be freed. XrmQuarkToString() performs the inverse function.
A quark is an integer representation of a string. Since the resource
manager needs to make many comparisons of strings when it gets data
from the database, it is more efficient to convert these strings into
quarks, and to compare quarks instead. Since quarks are presently rep‐
resented by integers, comparing quarks is trivial.
The macros XrmStringToName(), XrmStringToClass(), and XrmStringToRepre‐
sentation() provide alternate names for XrmStringToQuark(). They help
document when a name, class, or representation (as opposed to some
other type of string) is being converted into a quark.

ences.
