### NAME

Tk_AddOption - Add an option to the option database

#include <tk.h>
void
Tk_AddOption(tkwin, name, value, priority)

### ARGUMENTS

Tk_Window tkwin (in)
  Token for window.

char *name (in)
  Multi-element name of option.

char *value (in)

int priority (in)

### DESCRIPTION

This procedure is invoked to add an option to the database associated with tkwin's main window. Name contains the option being specified and consists of names and/or classes separated by asterisks or dots, in the usual X format. Value contains the text string to associate with name; this value will be returned in calls to Tk_GetOption. Priority specifies the priority of the value; when options are queried using Tk_GetOption, the value with the highest priority is returned. Priority must be between 0 and TK_MAX_PRIO. Some common priority values are:

20
  Used for default values hard-coded into widgets.

40
  Used for options specified in application-specific startup files.

60
  Used for options specified in user-specific defaults files, such as .Xdefaults, resource databases loaded into the X server, or user-specific startup files.

80
  Used for options specified interactively after the application starts running.
