NAME
  dtsession_res - CDE dtsession resource load utility

SYNOPSIS
  dtsession_res -load  | -merge	 [-system] [-xdefaults] [-file name]

OPTIONS
  -load
      Replace the current RESOURCE_MANAGER content with the session
      resources.

  -merge
      Merge the current RESOURCE_MANAGER content with the session resources.

  -system
      Load or merge the system session resources.

  -xdefaults
      Load or merge the $HOME/.Xdefault file.

  -file name
      Load or merge the file specified by name.

DESCRIPTION
  The CDE dtsession_res utility uses xrdb(1X) to load the session resources
  into the RESOURCE_MANAGER property of the root window of the display. The
  session resources are gathered from the following files:

  <filename>/usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.resources
  /etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.resources $HOME/.Xdefaults
  $HOME/.dt/</filename>session dir/dt.resources

  Refer to the dtsession(1) man page for more information on these files and
  their content.

  The dtsession_res utility provides support for display-specific resources
  by converting the $DISPLAY value into a cpp(1) macro that can be used in a
  session resource file to limit resource definitions to a particular
  display. It does this by converting all '.' (dot) and ':' (colon)
  characters to '_', stripping off any screen  specification and finally
  prefixing 'DISPLAY_' to the result. For example, a $DISPLAY of ':0' would
  be 'DISPLAY_0', and a $DISPLAY of 'blanco.gato.com:0.0' would be
  'DISPLAY_blanco_gato_com_0'.	The resulting value can be used as part of a
  cpp test in a session resource file. For example:

       Myapp*resource: value

       #ifdef DISPLAY_blanco_gato_com_0
       Myapp*resource: specialvalue1
       #endif

       #ifdef DISPLAY_pablo_gato_com_0
       Myapp*resource: specialvalue2
       #endif

  NOTE: The Common Desktop Environment (CDE) dtsession_resutility is used by
  dtsession and the ReloadResources action to load session resources. It is
  not intended to be run directly from the command line.

EXAMPLES
  The dtsession_res utility is not intended to be run from the command line.
  Refer to the ReloadResources action for information on how to reload
  session resources in a user's session.

       dtsession_res -load -system -xdefaults \
	  -file $HOME/.dt/sessions/current/dt.resources

  Replaces the RESOURCE_MANAGER with the content of the following files:

       /usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.resources,
       /etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.resources,
       $HOME/.Xdefaults
       $HOME/.dt/sessions/current/dt.resources
