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;
VERSION
This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.
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.
