The

function searches for a descendant of the <emphasis remap='I'>reference</emphasis>
widget whose name matches the specified names.  The <emphasis remap='I'>names</emphasis> parameter
specifies a simple object name or a series of simple object name
components separated by periods or asterisks.
<xref linkend='XtNameToWidget' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
returns the descendant with the shortest name matching the specification
according to the following rules, where child is either a pop-up child
or a normal child if the widget's class is a subclass of

Since breadth-first traversal is specified, the descendant with the
shortest matching name (i.e., the fewest number of components), if any,
will always be returned.  However, since the order of enumeration of
children is undefined and since the Intrinsics do not require that all
children of a widget have unique names,
<xref linkend='XtNameToWidget' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
may return any
child that matches if there are multiple objects in the subtree with
the same name.  Consecutive separators (periods or asterisks)
including at least one asterisk are treated as a single asterisk.
Consecutive periods are treated as a single period.

<para>
The

function returns a shareable GC that may be
modified by the client.  The <emphasis remap='I'>screen</emphasis> field of the specified
widget or of the nearest widget ancestor of the specified
object and the specified <emphasis remap='I'>depth</emphasis> argument supply
the root and drawable depths for which the GC is to be
valid.  If <emphasis remap='I'>depth</emphasis> is zero, the depth is taken from the
<emphasis remap='I'>depth</emphasis> field of the specified widget or of the nearest
widget ancestor of the specified object.
</para>

<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>value_mask</emphasis> argument specifies fields of the GC
that are initialized with the respective member of the
<emphasis remap='I'>values</emphasis> structure.  The <emphasis remap='I'>dynamic_mask</emphasis> argument specifies fields
that the caller intends to modify during program execution.
The caller must ensure that the corresponding GC field is set
prior to each use of the GC.  The <emphasis remap='I'>unused_mask</emphasis> argument
specifies fields of the GC that are of no interest to the
caller.  The caller may make no assumptions about the contents
of any fields specified in <emphasis remap='I'>unused_mask</emphasis>.  The caller may assume
that at all times all fields not specified in either
<emphasis remap='I'>dynamic_mask</emphasis> or <emphasis remap='I'>unused_mask</emphasis> have their default value if not
specified in <emphasis remap='I'>value_mask</emphasis> or the value specified by <emphasis remap='I'>values</emphasis>.
If a field is specified in both <emphasis remap='I'>value_mask</emphasis> and <emphasis remap='I'>dynamic_mask</emphasis>,
the effect is as if it were specified only in <emphasis remap='I'>dynamic_mask</emphasis>

is set in <emphasis remap='I'>unused_mask</emphasis> and also in either <emphasis remap='I'>value_mask</emphasis> or

may not be able to store the entire selection value in memory or a
selection owner may already have the selection value available in
discrete chunks, and it would be more efficient not to have to
allocate additional storage to copy the pieces contiguously.  Any
owner or requestor that prefers to deal with the selection value in
segments can use the incremental interfaces to do so.
The transfer between the selection owner or requestor and the Intrinsics is not
required to match the underlying
transport protocol between the application and the X server;
the Intrinsics will break too large a selection
into smaller pieces for transport if necessary
and will coalesce a selection transmitted incrementally if the value
was requested atomically.

This procedure is called by the Intrinsics selection mechanism
to get the value of a selection as a given type
from the current selection owner.
It returns

<function>False</function>
otherwise.
If the procedure returns

the values of the return arguments are undefined.

<para>
The
<xref linkend='XtOwnSelection' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
function informs the Intrinsics selection mechanism that a
widget wishes to own a selection.
It returns
<function>True</function>
if the widget successfully becomes the owner and
<function>False</function>
otherwise.
The widget may fail to become the owner if some other widget
has asserted ownership at a time later than this widget.
The widget can lose selection ownership either
because some other widget asserted later ownership of the selection
or because the widget voluntarily gave up ownership of the selection.
The lose_selection procedure is not called
if the widget fails to obtain selection ownership in the first place.
</para>

<para>
If a done_proc is specified, the client owns the storage allocated
for passing the value to the Intrinsics.  If <emphasis remap='I'>done_proc</emphasis> is NULL,
the convert_proc must allocate storage using
<xref linkend='XtMalloc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
<xref linkend='XtRealloc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
or
<xref linkend='XtCalloc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
and the value specified is freed by the
Intrinsics when the transfer is complete.
</para>

<para>
Usually, a selection owner maintains ownership indefinitely until some
other widget requests ownership, at which time
the Intrinsics selection mechanism informs the previous owner that it
has lost ownership of the selection.
However, in response to some user actions
(for example, when a user deletes the information selected),
the application may wish to explicitly inform the Intrinsics
by using
<xref linkend='XtDisownSelection' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
that it no longer is to be the selection owner.

<para>
The
<xref linkend='XtDisownSelection' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
function informs the Intrinsics selection mechanism that
the specified widget is to lose ownership of the selection.
If the widget does not currently own the selection, either
because it lost the selection
or because it never had the selection to begin with,
<xref linkend='XtDisownSelection' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
does nothing.
</para>

<para>
After a widget has called
<xref linkend='XtDisownSelection' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
its convert procedure is not called even if a request arrives later
with a timestamp during the period that this widget owned the selection.
However, its done procedure is called if a conversion that started
before the call to
<xref linkend='XtDisownSelection' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
finishes after the call to
<xref linkend='XtDisownSelection' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.

<sect2 id="Using_Incremental_Transfers">
<title>Using Incremental Transfers</title>
<para>
When using the incremental interface, an owner may have to process
more than one selection request for the same selection, converted to
the same target, at the same time.  The incremental functions take a
<emphasis remap='I'>request_id</emphasis> argument, which is an identifier that is guaranteed to be
unique among all incremental requests that are active concurrently.
</para>

<para>
For example, consider the following:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing='compact'>
  <listitem>
    <para>
Upon receiving a request for the selection value, the owner sends
the first segment.
    </para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
    <para>
While waiting to be called to provide the next segment value but
before sending it, the owner receives another request from a
different requestor for the same selection value.
    </para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
    <para>
To distinguish between the requests, the owner uses the request_id
value.  This allows the owner to distinguish between the first
requestor, which is asking for the second segment, and the second
requestor, which is asking for the first segment.

<para>
This procedure is called repeatedly by the Intrinsics selection mechanism to get
the next incremental chunk of data from a selection owner who has
called
<xref linkend='XtOwnSelectionIncremental' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
It must return
<function>True</function>
if the procedure has succeeded in converting the selection data or
<function>False</function>
otherwise.
On the first call with a particular request id, the owner must begin
a new incremental transfer for the requested selection and target.  On
subsequent calls with the same request id, the owner may assume that
the previously supplied value is no longer needed by the Intrinsics;
that is, a fixed transfer area may be allocated and returned in <emphasis remap='I'>value_return</emphasis>
for each segment to be transferred.  This procedure should store a
non-NULL value in <emphasis remap='I'>value_return</emphasis> and zero in <emphasis remap='I'>length_return</emphasis> to indicate that the
entire selection has been delivered.  After returning this final
segment, the request id may be reused by the Intrinsics to begin a

except that the selection_callback procedure will
be called repeatedly upon delivery of multiple segments of the
selection value.  The end of the selection value is indicated when
<emphasis remap='I'>selection_callback</emphasis> is called with a non-NULL value of length zero,
which must still be freed by the client.  If the
transfer of the selection is aborted in the middle of a transfer
(for example, because of a timeout), the selection_callback procedure is
called with a type value equal to the symbolic constant
<function>XT_CONVERT_FAIL</function>
so that the requestor can dispose
of the partial selection value it has collected up until that point.
Upon receiving
<function>XT_CONVERT_FAIL</function>,
the requesting client must determine
for itself whether or not a partially completed data transfer is meaningful.

The

function is similar to
<xref linkend='XtGetSelectionValueIncremental' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
except that it takes a list of targets and client data.
<xref linkend='XtGetSelectionValuesIncremental' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
is equivalent to calling

successively for each <emphasis remap='I'>target/client_data</emphasis> pair except that

<sect1 id="Handling_Errors">
<title>Handling Errors</title>
<para>
The Intrinsics allow a client to register procedures that are called
whenever a fatal or nonfatal error occurs.
These facilities are intended for both error reporting and logging
and for error correction or recovery.
</para>

<para>
Two levels of interface are provided:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing='compact'>
  <listitem>
    <para>
A high-level interface that takes an error
name and class and retrieves the error message text from
an error resource database.
    </para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
    <para>
A low-level interface that takes a simple string to display.
    </para>
  </listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
The high-level functions construct a string to pass to the lower-level
interface.
The strings may be specified in application code and are
overridden by the contents of an external systemwide file,
the "error database file".  The location and name of this file are
implementation-dependent.
</para>
<note>
<para>
The application-context-specific error handling is not
implemented on many systems, although the interfaces are
always present.
Most implementations will have just one set of error handlers
for all application contexts within a process.
If they are set for different application contexts,
the ones registered last will prevail.
</para>
</note>

<para>
To obtain the error database (for example, to merge with
an application- or widget-specific database), use
<xref linkend='XtAppGetErrorDatabase' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.

<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>path</emphasis> parameter specifies a string that consists of a series of
potential file names delimited by colons.  Within each name, the
percent character specifies a string substitution selected by the
following character.  The character sequence "%:" specifies an
embedded colon that is not a delimiter; the sequence is replaced by a
single colon.  The character sequence "%%" specifies a percent
character that does not introduce a substitution; the sequence is
replaced by a single percent character.  If a percent character is
followed by any other character,
<xref linkend='XtFindFile' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
looks through the
specified <emphasis remap='I'>substitutions</emphasis> for that character in the <emphasis remap='I'>match</emphasis> field
and, if found,
replaces the percent and match characters with the string in the
corresponding <emphasis remap='I'>substitution</emphasis> field.  A <emphasis remap='I'>substitution</emphasis> field entry of NULL
is equivalent to a pointer to an empty string.  If the operating
system does not interpret multiple embedded name separators in the
path (i.e., "/" in POSIX) the same way as a single separator,
<xref linkend='XtFindFile' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
will collapse multiple separators into a single one after performing
all string substitutions.  Except for collapsing embedded separators,
the contents of the string substitutions are not interpreted by
<xref linkend='XtFindFile' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and may therefore contain any operating-system-dependent
characters, including additional name separators.  Each resulting
string is passed to the predicate procedure until a string is found for
which the procedure returns
<function>True</function>;
this string is the return value for
<xref linkend='XtFindFile' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
If no string yields a
<function>True</function>
return from the predicate,
<xref linkend='XtFindFile' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
returns NULL.

The substitutions specified by

are determined from the value of the language string retrieved by
<xref linkend='XtDisplayInitialize' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
for the specified display.
To set the
language for all applications specify "*xnlLanguage: <emphasis remap='I'>lang</emphasis>" in the
resource database.
The format and content of the language string are
implementation-defined.   One suggested syntax is to compose
the language string of three parts;  a  "language  part",  a
"territory  part" and a "codeset part".  The manner in which
this composition is accomplished is implementation-defined,
and the Intrinsics make no interpretation of the parts other
than to use them in substitutions as described below.

<!-- PROBLEM ABOVE HERE -->
<para>
If a path is passed to
<xref linkend='XtResolvePathname' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
it is passed along to
<xref linkend='XtFindFile' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
If the <emphasis remap='I'>path</emphasis> argument is NULL, the value of the
<emphasis role='strong'>XFILESEARCHPATH</emphasis>
environment variable is passed to
<xref linkend='XtFindFile' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
If <emphasis role='strong'>XFILESEARCHPATH</emphasis>
is not defined, an implementation-specific default path is used
that contains at least six entries.  These entries
must contain the following substitutions:
</para>


<!-- OK PAST HERE -->

<literallayout>
1.     %C, %N, %S, %T, %L   or   %C, %N, %S, %T, %l, %t, %c

5.     %N, %S, %T, %l
6.     %N, %S, %T
</literallayout>

<para>
The order of these six entries within the path must be as given above.
The order and use of substitutions within a given entry
are implementation-dependent.
If the path begins
with a colon, it is preceded by %N%S.  If the path includes two
adjacent colons, <function>%N%S</function> is inserted between them.
</para>

<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>type</emphasis> parameter is intended to be a category of files, usually
being translated into a directory in the pathname.  Possible values
might include "app-defaults", "help", and "bitmap".
</para>

<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>suffix</emphasis> parameter is intended to be appended to the file name.
Possible values might include ".txt", ".dat", and ".bm".
</para>

<para>
A suggested value for the default path on POSIX-based systems is
</para>
<literallayout>
   /usr/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%C%S:\
   /usr/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:/usr/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%S:\
   /usr/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%S:/usr/lib/X11/%T/%N%S
</literallayout>


<para>
Using this example, if the user has specified a language, it is
used as a subdirectory of /usr/lib/X11 that is searched for other
files.  If the desired file is not found there, the lookup is
tried again using just the language part of the specification.  If the
file is not there, it is looked for in /usr/lib/X11.  The <emphasis remap='I'>type</emphasis>
parameter is used as a subdirectory of the language directory or of
/usr/lib/X11, and <emphasis remap='I'>suffix</emphasis> is appended to the file name.
</para>

<para>
The %D substitution allows the addition of path
elements to the implementation-specific default path, typically to
allow additional directories to be searched without preventing
resources in the system directories from being found.  For example, a
user installing resource files under a directory called "ourdir"
might set
<emphasis role='strong'>XFILESEARCHPATH</emphasis>
to
</para>
<literallayout>
   %D:ourdir/%T/%N%C:ourdir/%T/%N
</literallayout>

<para>
The customization string is obtained by querying the resource database
currently associated with the display (the database returned by
<function>XrmGetDatabase</function>)
for the resource <emphasis remap='I'>application_name</emphasis>.customization, class
<emphasis remap='I'>application_class</emphasis>.Customization, where <emphasis remap='I'>application_name</emphasis>
and <emphasis remap='I'>application_class</emphasis> are the values returned by
<xref linkend='XtGetApplicationNameAndClass' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
If no value is specified in the database, the empty string is used.
</para>

<para>
It is the responsibility of the caller to free the returned string using
<xref linkend='XtFree' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
when it is no longer needed.

<para>
Applications may register

These functions are intended to be used to provide notification
of an "X Toolkit event", such as widget creation, to an external agent,

The control points containing such registration hooks are identified

move, resize, or configure a widget and when
<xref linkend='XtResizeWindow' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
is called.
</para>

<para>
When the configureHook callbacks are called, the <emphasis remap='I'>type</emphasis> is
<function>XtHconfigure</function>,
<emphasis remap='I'>widget</emphasis> is the widget being configured, and <emphasis remap='I'>changeMask</emphasis> and
<emphasis remap='I'>changes</emphasis> reflect the changes made to the widget. The callbacks
are called after changes have been made to the widget.
</para>

<para>
The XtNgeometryHook callback list is called from
<xref linkend='XtMakeGeometryRequest' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and
<xref linkend='XtMakeResizeRequest' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
once before and once after geometry negotiation occurs.
</para>

<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>call_data</emphasis> parameter may be cast to type
<function>XtGeometryHookData</function>.
</para>

<literallayout >
typedef struct {
	String type;
	Widget widget;
	XtWidgetGeometry* request;
	XtWidgetGeometry* reply;
	XtGeometryResult result;
} XtGeometryHookDataRec, *XtGeometryHookData;
</literallayout>
<para>
When the geometryHook callbacks are called prior to geometry negotiation,
the <emphasis remap='I'>type</emphasis> is
<function>XtHpreGeometry</function>,
<emphasis remap='I'>widget</emphasis> is the widget for which the request is being made, and
<emphasis remap='I'>request</emphasis> is the requested geometry.
When the geometryHook callbacks
are called after geometry negotiation, the <emphasis remap='I'>type</emphasis> is
<function>XtHpostGeometry</function>,
<emphasis remap='I'>widget</emphasis> is the widget for which the request was made, <emphasis remap='I'>request</emphasis>
is the requested geometry, <emphasis remap='I'>reply</emphasis> is the resulting geometry granted,
and <emphasis remap='I'>result</emphasis> is the value returned from the geometry negotiation.
</para>

<para>
The XtNdestroyHook callback list is called when a widget is destroyed.
The <emphasis remap='I'>call_data parameter</emphasis> may be cast to type
<function>XtDestroyHookData</function>.
</para>
<literallayout >
typedef struct {
	String type;
	Widget widget;
} XtDestroyHookDataRec, *XtDestroyHookData;
</literallayout>
<para>
When the destroyHook callbacks are called as a result of a call to
<xref linkend='XtDestroyWidget' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
the <emphasis remap='I'>type</emphasis> is
<function>XtHdestroy</function>
and <emphasis remap='I'>widget</emphasis> is the widget being destroyed. The callbacks are
called upon completion of phase one destroy for a widget.
</para>

<para>
The XtNshells and XtnumShells are read-only resources that report a
list of all parentless shell widgets associated with a display.
</para>

<para>
Clients who use these hooks must exercise caution in calling Intrinsics
functions in order to avoid recursion.
