.SH NAME
appres \- list X application resource database
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "appres"
[[class [instance]] [\-1] [toolkitoptions] 
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fIappres\fP program prints the resources seen by an application
(or subhierarchy of an application) with the specified \fIclass\fP and
\fIinstance\fP names.  It can be used to determine which
resources a particular program will load.  For example,
.sp 1
.in +.5i
.nf
% appres  XTerm
.fi
.in -.5i
.sp 1
will list the resources that any \fIxterm\fP program will load.
If no application class is specified, the class \fI-AppResTest-\fP is used.
.PP
To match a particular instance name, specify an instance name
explicitly after the class name, or use the normal Xt toolkit option.
For example,
.sp 1
.in +.5i
.nf
% appres  XTerm  myxterm
.fi
.in -.5i
or
.in +.5i
.nf
% appres  XTerm  \-name  myxterm
.fi
.in -.5i
.PP
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,
.sp 1
.in +.5i
.nf
% appres  Xman.TopLevelShell.Form  xman.topBox.form
.fi
.in -.5i
.sp 1
will list the resources of widgets of \fIxman\fP topBox hierarchy.
To list just the resources matching a specific level in the hierarcy,
use the \-1 option.  For example,
.sp 1
.in +.5i
.nf
% appres  XTerm.VT100  xterm.vt100  \-1
.fi
.in -.5i
.sp 1
will list the resources matching the \fIxterm\fP vt100 widget.
