LISTRES(1)

🎀 LISTRES(1) · General Commands Manual 💅

okay bestie, listres is literally the tool for peeking at what resources your widgets are hiding ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

listres - list resources in widgets 🦋

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

listres [-option ...]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the listres program makes a list of a widget's resource database 📋 for each resource it tells you the class where it was first defined, the instance and class name, and its type. it's giving full detective energy 🕵️‍♀️

if you don't name any specific widgets and don't use the -all switch, you get a two-column list of widget names and their class hierarchies instead 🍓

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

listres takes all the standard toolkit command line options, plus these cuties:

• -all — tells listres to print info for every known widget and object 🌈
• -nosuper — skips any resources inherited from a superclass. super useful for spotting which resources are brand new to a subclass 👑
• -variable — identifies widgets by the names of their class record variables instead of the class name given in the variable. this is the move when subclasses share a class name with their superclasses 🔥
• -top name — sets which widget counts as the top of the hierarchy 🌟 case doesn't matter, and the name can match either the class variable name or the class name. the default is core
• -format printf-string — sets the printf-style format string used to print the name, instance, class, and type of each resource 💜
• -help — prints a usage message and exits 🙈
• -version — prints version info and exits 🎀

⚠️ BUGS ⚠️

on operating systems that don't support dynamic linking of run-time routines, this program has to have all of its known widgets compiled in 😭 the sources include a few tools that automate this for various widget sets, so you're not doing it all by hand 🫶
