XtGetErrorDatabase(3)

💖 XtGetErrorDatabase(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the XT COMPATIBILITY FUNCTIONS corner of the manual — this is XtGetErrorDatabase(3), and yes it's the cute little error-database grabber from libXt. pull up a chair, we're getting your error messages out of the resource database 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

XtGetErrorDatabase, XtGetErrorDatabaseText — obtain error database 🦋

---

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

XrmDatabase *XtGetErrorDatabase(void);

void XtGetErrorDatabaseText(const char *name, const char *type, const
       char *class, const char *defaultMsg, char *buffer_return, int
       nbytes);

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• buffer_return — the buffer where the error message gets dropped off. that's the destination, periodt 💅
• class — the resource class of the error message. giving it a whole category, main character energy ✨
• default — the default message to use. the fallback fit, the backup plan, the "if nothing else works" look 💜
• name, type — these two get concatenated together to form the resource name of the error message. it's giving duo, it's giving collab, it's giving name + type = one resource name 🌈
• nbytes — the size of the buffer, in bytes. know your limits bestie 😭

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

so here's the tea, and it's a little bittersweet ngl 🍓

The XtGetErrorDatabase function has been superseded by XtAppGetErrorDatabase.

The XtGetErrorDatabaseText function has been superseded by XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText.

bestie. these are the old ones. the OGs. they still show up to the party but the newer functions are the ones running the show now — "superseded" is the polite way of saying "there's a fresher version of me and honestly? she ate" 💅 no cap.
