     XmStringByteCompare(Xm)                        UNIX System V



     NAME
          XmStringByteCompare  -  a  compound  string  function   that
          indicates the results of a byte-by-byte comparison.



     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Xm.h>

          Boolean XmStringByteCompare (s1, s2)
               XmString  s1;
               XmString  s2;



     DESCRIPTION
          XmStringByteCompare returns a Boolean indicating the results
          of  a  byte-by-byte  comparison of two compound strings.  In
          some cases, once a compound string is  put  into  a  widget,
          that  string  is  converted  into  an internal form to allow
          faster processing.  Part of the  conversion  process  strips
          out unnecessary or redundant information.  If an application
          then does an XtGetValues to retrieve a compound string  from
          a widget (specifically, Label and all of its subclasses), it
          is not guaranteed that the compound string returned will  be
          byte-for-byte  the  same  as  the string given to the widget
          originally.


          s1     Specifies a compound string to be compared with s2.

          s2     Specifies a compound string to be compared with s1.



     RETURN VALUE
          Returns True if two compound strings are identical  byte-by-
          byte.
