Type of resources.

The empty set of resources.

get key resources returns the key associated to the last pattern that matches key in resources, or the empty string if no pattern matches key.

add pattern value returns the new set of resources with the binding pattern -> value at the end.

merge res1 res2 merges the two given sets of resources.

Exception raised when the contents of a resource is invalid.

get_bool name resources reads the boolean encoded in resources.

get_color name resources reads the color encoded in resources.

get_style prefix resources reads the style encoded in resources.

get_connection name resources

Parse_error(source, line, msg) is raised when a parsing error is encountered in the input.

parse str parses a string for a list of properties. str must follow the format of X resources files. i.e. comments start with a !, empty lines are ignored, and configuration lines looks-like:

  key: value

Same as parse but parses the contents of a file.

The home directory.

xdgbd_file ~loc fn returns the full file-name for a file fn in the XDG Base Directory corresponding to the variant given by loc.

E.g. xdgbd_file ~loc:LTerm_resources.Cache app_history would return something like "/home/user/.cache/app_history"

Follows the XDG Base Directory specification: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

If the optional parameter legacy_name is given, first check if there is already a file with the given name in the user's home directory. If it finds such a file, it returns that filename, else it resorts to regular behavior.
