DESCRIPTION

Tk_AddOption 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 (100). Some common priority values are:

Used for default values hard-coded into widgets.
Used for options specified in application-specific startup files.
Used for options specified in user-specific defaults files, such as .Xdefaults, resource databases loaded into the X server, or user-specific startup files.
Used for options specified interactively after the application starts running.

Tk_GetSystemDefault returns a Tcl_Obj* with the string identifying a configuration option matching the given dbname and className. Returns NULL if there are no system defaults that match this pair.
