XmStringNCopy

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.
