XrmMergeDatabases, XrmCombineDatabase, XrmCombineFile-
       Database - merge resource databases


SYNTAX

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

       void XrmCombineDatabase(source_db, target_db, override)
             XrmDatabase source_db, *target_db;
             Bool override;

       Status XrmCombineFileDatabase(filename, target_db,
       override)
             char *filename;
             XrmDatabase *target_db;
             Bool override;


ARGUMENTS

       source_db Specifies the resource database that is to be
                 merged into the target database.

       target_db Specifies the resource database into which the
                 source database is to be merged.

       filename  Specifies the resource database file name.

       override  Specifies whether source entries override target
                 ones.


DESCRIPTION

       Calling the XrmMergeDatabases function is equivalent to
       calling the XrmCombineDatabase function with an override
       argument of True.

       The XrmCombineDatabase function merges the contents of one
       database into another.  If the same specifier is used for
       an entry in both databases, the entry in the source_db
       will replace the entry in the target_db if override is
       True; otherwise, the entry in source_db is discarded.  If
       target_db contains NULL, XrmCombineDatabase 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 chang-
       ing values or types, regardless of the locales of the
       databases.  The locale of the target database is not modi-
       fied.

       The XrmCombineFileDatabase function merges the contents of
       a resource file into a database.  If the same specifier is
       used for an entry in both the file and the database, the
       entry in the file will replace the entry in the database
       if override is True; otherwise, the entry in the file is
