💖 APPRES(1) 💖

okay so this is the General Commands Manual page for appres, aka the one where you learn how to peek at X application resources. bestie, this is so you 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

appres - list X application resource database

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so appres prints out all the resources an application sees (or just a subhierarchy of one) for the class and instance names you give it. it's literally how you check which resources a certain program is gonna load 👀✨

for example:

% appres  XTerm

this lists every resource that any xterm program will load. no class? no cap, it defaults to the class -AppResTest- 💅

now if you want a particular instance name, you can either type it right after the class, or use the normal Xt toolkit option. like:

% appres  XTerm  myxterm

or

% appres  XTerm  -name  myxterm

both do the same thing bestie, pick your fave 🦋

to get a subhierarchy, use hierarchical class and instance names. the number of class components and instance components has to be equal (very important, don't skip this 😭), and you should not pass the instance name with a toolkit option. example:

% appres  Xman.TopLevelShell.Form  xman.topBox.form

this lists the resources of the widgets in the xman topBox hierarchy. and if you only want the resources for one specific level of the hierarchy, slap on the -1 option. like this:

% appres  XTerm.VT100  xterm.vt100  -1

and boom, you get just the resources matching the xterm vt100 widget 🔥

the -V option prints the appres command version and then exits, so it's giving quick version check energy 🌈
