I thought I sent a reply to the list, but apparently
I did not. Anyhow,
fl_set_resource and fl_get_resource provide
general name-value pair handling that can be
tailored to one's needs via a simple wrapper.
Basically, you can associated an arbitary name string
with an arbitary value:
fl_set_resource("ImportantVar","var_a");
and use fl_get_resource("ImportantVar",...)
to retrieve the value anywhere in your program.
To simplify things a bit, you might want create integer routines
fl_set_integer(char *name, int val)
{
char buf[32];
sprintf(buf,"%d",val);
fl_set_resource(name,buf);
}
and do a similar thing with fl_get_resource.
I guess that the important thing about set_resource etc
is that arbitary string can be used, not only those
that follow the X resource syntax.
