XmStringByteCompare(3X) — Subroutines

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)
XmStrings1;
XmStrings2;
DESCRIPTION
XmStringByteCompare returns a Boolean indicating the results of a byte-by-byte comparison of two compound strings.
In general, if two compound strings are created with the same (char ∗) string using XmStringCreateSimple in the same language environment, the compound strings compare as equal. If two compound strings are created with the same (char ∗) string and the same character set other than XmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET using XmStringCreate, the strings compare as equal. The result of comparing a compound string created with XmStringCreate against a compound string created with XmStringCreateSimple is undefined.
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 is byte-for-byte the same as the string given to the widget originally.
s1Specifies a compound string to be compared with s2
s2Specifies a compound string to be compared with s1
RETURN VALUE
Returns True if two compound strings are identical byte-by-byte.
