The real documentation? It's in the Xlib documentation published by
the X consortium. Trust me, you don't want that.
The basic format of the file is as in the lines above - my
~/.Xresources file looks like this:
*scrollBar: true ! make everything have a scrollbar
xterm.vt100*translations: #override \
<Key>BackSpace: string(\177) \n\
<Key>Delete: string(0x1b) string("[3~") \n
xterm*background: bisque3
xterm*foreground: black
netscape*blinkingEnabled: False
DctrlIcon*geometry: +1092+670
pmon*geometry: +1052+670
Blank lines are ignored - exclamation points begin comments. A
particular application obeys resources if they begin with "*" or with
the application's executable name or with the application's class name
(an application's Class name can be found with 'xlsclients -l'). What
each resource does is application specific. The xterm man page has
several good examples of xresource lines.
