# [ARGUMENTS](#ARGUMENTS)

[*args*](#args)

Specifies the argument list to override resources obtained from the resource database.

[*base*](#base)

Specifies the base address of the subpart data structure where the resources should be written.

[*num\_args*](#num_args)

Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

[*num\_resources*](#num_resources)

Specifies the number of resources in the resource list.

[*resources*](#resources)

Specifies the resource list for the subpart.

[*w*](#w)

Specifies the widget that wants resources for a subpart or that identifies the resource database to search.

*...*

Specifies the variable arguments to override resources obtained from the resource database.

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

The **XtGetApplicationResources** function first uses the passed widget, which is usually an application shell, to construct a resource name and class list, Then, it retrieves the resources from the argument list, the resource database, or the resource list default values. After adding base to each address, **XtGetApplicationResources** copies the resources into the address given in the resource list. If args is NULL, num\_args must be zero. However, if num\_args is zero, the argument list is not referenced. The portable way to specify application resources is to declare them as members of a structure and pass the address of the structure as the base argument.
