XmStringNCopy(3X) UNIX System V XmStringNCopy(3X)
NAME
XmStringNCopy - a compound string function that creates a copy of a
compound string.
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString XmStringNCopy (s1, num_bytes)
XmString s1;
int num_bytes;
DESCRIPTION
XmStringNCopy creates a copy of s1 that contains a specified number of
bytes, including tags, directional indicators, and separators. It then
returns the resulting compound string. The original strings are
preserved. The space for the resulting compound string is allocated
within the function. The application is responsible for managing the
allocated space. The memory can be recovered by calling XmStringFree.
s1 Specifies the compound string.
num_bytes
Specifies the number of bytes of s1 to copy. If this value is less
than the length of s1, as many bytes as possible, but possibly
fewer than this value, will be appended to s1 such that the
resulting string is still a valid compound string.
RETURN VALUE
Returns a new compound string.
