appres(1)

NAME

   appres - list X application resource database

SYNOPSIS

   appres [class [instance]] [-1] [-V] [toolkitoptions]

DESCRIPTION

   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.

   The -V option prints the appres command version and exits.
