# XtVaCreateArgsList(3x)

dynamically allocate a varargs list

## NAME

XtVaCreateArgsList - dynamically allocate a varargs list

## SYNTAX

XtVarArgsList XtVaCreateArgsList(XtPointer *unused*, ...);

## ARGUMENTS

- *unused*

  Must be specified as NULL.

- *...*

  Specifies a variable parameter list of resource name and value pairs.

## DESCRIPTION

The *XtVaCreateArgsList* function allocates memory and copies its arguments into a single list pointer, which may be used with *XtVaNestedList*. The end of both lists is identified by a *name* entry containing NULL. Any entries of type *XtVaTypedArg* are copied as specified without applying conversions. Data passed by reference (including Strings) are not copied, only the pointers themselves; the caller must ensure that the data remain valid for the lifetime of the created varargs list. The list should be freed using *XtFree* when no longer needed.
