+.IP \fIpredicate\fP 1.2i
+Specifies a procedure called to judge each potential file name, or NULL.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The substitutions specified by
+.ZN XtResolvePathname
+are determined from the value of the language string retrieved by
+.ZN XtDisplayInitialize
+for the specified display.
+To set the
+language for all applications specify ``*xnlLanguage: \fIlang\fP'' in the
+resource database.
+.IN "xnlLanguage"
+The format and content of the language string are
+implementation-defined. One suggested syntax is to compose
+the language string of three parts; a ``language part'', a
+``territory part'' and a ``codeset part''. The manner in which
+this composition is accomplished is implementation-defined
+and the \*(xI make no interpretation of the parts other
+than to use them in substitutions as described below.
+.LP
+.ZN XtResolvePathname
+calls
+.ZN XtFindFile
+with the following substitutions
+in addition to any passed by the caller and returns the value returned by
+.ZN XtFindFile :
+.IP %N 5
+The value of the \fIfilename\fP parameter, or the application's
+class name if \fIfilename\fP is NULL.
+.IP %T 5
+The value of the \fItype\fP parameter.
+.IP %S 5
+The value of the \fIsuffix\fP parameter.
+.IP %L 5
+The language string associated with the specified display.
+.IP %l 5
+The language part of the display's language string.
+.IP %t 5
+The territory part of the display's language string.
+.IP %c 5
+The codeset part of the display's language string.
+.IP %C 5
+The customization string retrieved from the resource
+database associated with \fIdisplay\fP.
+.IP %D 5
+The value of the implementation-specific default path.
+.LP
+If a path is passed to
+.ZN XtResolvePathname ,
+it will be passed along to
+.ZN XtFindFile .
+If the \fIpath\fP argument is NULL, the value of the
+.ZN \s-1XFILESEARCHPATH\s+1
+.IN "XFILESEARCHPATH" "" "@DEF@"
+environment variable will be passed to
+.ZN XtFindFile .
+If
+.ZN \s-1XFILESEARCHPATH\s+1
+is not defined, an implementation-specific default path will be used
+which contains at least 6 entries. These entries
+must contain the following substitutions:
+
+.nf
+.ta .3i 2i 2.5i
+1. %C, %N, %S, %T, %L or %C, %N, %S, %T, %l, %t, %c
+2. %C, %N, %S, %T, %l
+3. %C, %N, %S, %T
+4. %N, %S, %T, %L or %N, %S, %T, %l, %t, %c
+5. %N, %S, %T, %l
+6. %N, %S, %T
+.fi
+
+The order of these six entries within the path must be as given above.
+The order and use of substitutions within a given entry is implementation
+dependent.
+If the path begins
+with a colon, it will be preceded by %N%S. If the path includes two
+adjacent colons, \fB%N%S\fP will be inserted between them.
+.LP
+The \fItype\fP parameter is intended to be a category of files, usually
+being translated into a directory in the pathname. Possible values
+might include ``app-defaults'', ``help'', and ``bitmap''.
+.LP
+The \fIsuffix\fP parameter is intended to be appended to the file name.
+Possible values might include ``.txt'', ``.dat'', and ``.bm''.
+.LP
+A suggested value for the default path on POSIX-based systems is
+.IP
+<XRoot>/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%C%S:<XRoot>/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%C%S:\\
+.br
+<XRoot>/lib/X11/%T/%N%C%S:<XRoot>/lib/X11/%L/%T/%N%S:\\
+.br
+<XRoot>/lib/X11/%l/%T/%N%S:<XRoot>/lib/X11/%T/%N%S
+.LP
+where <XRoot> is replaced by the root of the X11 installation tree
+(/usr/X11R6, for example).
+.LP
+Using this example, if the user has specified a language, it will be
+used as a subdirectory of <XRoot>/lib/X11 that will be searched for other
+files. If the desired file is not found there, the lookup will be
+tried again using just the language part of the specification. If the
+file is not there, it will be looked for in <XRoot>/lib/X11. The \fItype\fP
+parameter is used as a subdirectory of the language directory or of
+<XRoot>/lib/X11, and \fIsuffix\fP is appended to the file name.
+.LP
+The %D substitution allows the addition of path
+elements to the implementation-specific default path, typically to
+allow additional directories to be searched without preventing
+resources in the system directories from being found. For example, a
+user installing resource files under a directory called ``ourdir''
+might set
+.ZN \s-1XFILESEARCHPATH\s+1
+to
+.IP
+%D:ourdir/%T/%N%C:ourdir/%T/%N
+.LP
+The customization string is obtained by querying the resource database
+currently associated with the display (the database returned by
+.ZN XrmGetDatabase )
+for the resource \fIapplication_name\fP.customization, class
+\fIapplication_class\fP.Customization where \fIapplication_name\fP
+and \fIapplication_class\fP are the values returned by
+.ZN XtGetApplicationNameAndClass .
+If no value is specified in the database, the empty string is used.
+.LP
+It is the responsibility of the caller to free the returned string using
+.ZN XtFree
+when it is no longer needed.
