MrmOpenHierarchy - Allocates a hierarchy ID and opens all the UID files in the hierarchy

Cardinal MrmOpenHierarchy(num_files, file_names_list, ancillary_structures_list, hierarchy_id)

This routine is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases. It is replaced by MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay. MrmOpenHierarchy is identical to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay except that MrmOpenHierarchy does not take a display argument.

for more information.
Each UID file string in file_names_list can specify either a full
pathname or a filename.
If a UID file string has a leading slash (/), it specifies a full
pathname, and MRM opens the file as specified.
Otherwise, the UID file string specifies a filename.
In this case MRM looks for the file along a search path specified by the
UIDPATH environment variable or by a default search path, which
varies depending on whether or not the XAPPLRESDIR environment
variable is set.
The UIDPATH environment variable specifies a search path and
naming conventions associated with UID files.
It can contain the substitution field %U, where the UID file string from
the file_names_list argument to MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay is
substituted for %U.
It can also contain the substitution fields accepted by
XtResolvePathname.
The substitution field %T is always mapped to uid.
The entire path is first searched with %S mapped to .uid and
then, if no file is found, is searched again with %S mapped to NULL.
If no display is set prior to calling this function, the result of this function's call to XtResolvePathname is undefined.
For example, the following UIDPATH value and
MrmOpenHierarchy call cause MRM to open two separate UID files:
UIDPATH=/uidlib/%L/%U.uid:/uidlib/%U/%L
static char *uid_files[] = {"/usr/users/me/test.uid", "test2"};
MrmHierarchy *Hierarchy_id;
MrmOpenHierarchy((MrmCount)2,uid_files, NULL, Hierarchy_id)
MRM opens the first file, /usr/users/me/test.uid, as specified in
the file_names_list argument to MrmOpenHierarchy, because
the UID file string in the file_names_list argument specifies a
full pathname.
MRM looks for the second file,
test2,
first as
/uidlib/%L/test2.uid
and second as
/uidlib/test2/%L,
where the display's language string is substituted for %L.
After MrmOpenHierarchy opens the UID hierarchy, you should not delete or modify the UID files until you close the UID hierarchy by calling MrmCloseHierarchy.
If UIDPATH is not set but the environment variable
XAPPLRESDIR is set, MRM searches the following pathnames:
22:59:55S $XAPPLRESDIR/%L/uid/%N/22:59:55S $XAPPLRESDIR/%l/uid/%N/22:59:55S $XAPPLRESDIR/uid/%N/22:59:55S $XAPPLRESDIR/%L/uid/22:59:55S $XAPPLRESDIR/%l/uid/22:59:55S $XAPPLRESDIR/uid/22:59:55S $HOME/uid/22:59:55S $HOME/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%N/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%N/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/uid/%N/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/uid/22:59:55S /usr/include/X11/uid/22:59:55S
If neither UIDPATH nor XAPPLRESDIR is set, MRM searches the
following pathnames:
22:59:55S $HOME/%L/uid/%N/22:59:55S $HOME/%l/uid/%N/22:59:55S $HOME/uid/%N/22:59:55S $HOME/%L/uid/22:59:55S $HOME/%l/uid/22:59:55S $HOME/uid/22:59:55S $HOME/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/%N/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/%N/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/uid/%N/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/%L/uid/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/%l/uid/22:59:55S /usr/lib/X11/uid/22:59:55S /usr/include/X11/uid/22:59:55S
These paths are defaults that vendors may change.
For example, a vendor may use different directories for
/usr/lib/X11 and /usr/include/X11.
The following substitutions are used in these paths:
.uil, and if
no file is found, it is searched again with a NULL suffix.
This function returns one of these status return constants:
