ARGUMENTS
  bindings_return
      Returns the binding list.

  quark
      Specifies the quark for which the equivalent string is desired.

  quarks_return
      Returns the list of quarks.

  string
      Specifies the string for which a quark or quark list is to be
      allocated.

DESCRIPTION
  The XrmUniqueQuark function allocates a quark that is guaranteed not to
  represent any string that is known to the resource manager.

  These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representation.
  If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the
  conversion is implementation dependent. The string argument to
  XrmStringToQuark need not be permanently allocated storage.
  XrmPermStringToQuark is just like XrmStringToQuark, except that Xlib is
  permitted to assume the string argument is permanently allocated, and,
  hence, that it can be used as the value to be returned by XrmQuarkToString.

  For any given quark, if XrmStringToQuark returns a non-NULL value, all
  future calls will return the same value (identical address).

  These functions can be used to convert from quark representation to string.
  The string pointed to by the return value must not be modified or freed.
  The returned string is byte-for-byte equal to the original string passed to
  one of the string-to-quark routines. If no string exists for that quark,
  XrmQuarkToString returns NULL. For any given quark, if XrmQuarkToString
  returns a non-NULL value, all future calls will return the same value
  (identical address).

  These functions can be used to convert from string to quark representation.
  If the string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the
  conversion is implementation dependent. The string argument to
  XrmStringToQuark need not be permanently allocated storage.
  XrmPermStringToQuark is just like XrmStringToQuark, except that Xlib is
  permitted to assume the string argument is permanently allocated, and,
  hence, that it can be used as the value to be returned by XrmQuarkToString.

  For any given quark, if XrmStringToQuark returns a non-NULL value, all
  future calls will return the same value (identical address).

  The XrmStringToQuarkList function converts the null-terminated string
  (generally a fully qualified name) to a list of quarks. Note that the
  string must be in the valid ResourceName format (see section 15.1). If the
  string is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the conversion is
  implementation dependent.

  A binding list is a list of type XrmBindingList and indicates if components
  of name or class lists are bound tightly or loosely (that is, if
  wildcarding of intermediate components is specified).

       typedef enum {XrmBindTightly, XrmBindLoosely} XrmBinding, *XrmBindingList;

  XrmBindTightly indicates that a period separates the components, and
  XrmBindLoosely indicates that an asterisk separates the components.

  The XrmStringToBindingQuarkList function converts the specified string to a
  binding list and a quark list. If the string is not in the Host Portable
  Character Encoding the conversion is implementation dependent. Component
  names in the list are separated by a period or an asterisk character. If
  the string does not start with period or asterisk, a period is assumed. For
  example, "*a.b*c" becomes:

       quarks  a       b       c
       bindings	       loose   tight   loose
