NAME

XmStringCompare — a compound string function that compares two strings.

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Xm.h> Boolean XmStringCompare (s1, s2)
XmStrings1;
XmStrings2;

DESCRIPTION

XmStringCompare returns a Boolean value indicating the results of a semantically equivalent comparison of two compound strings. 

Semantically equivalent means that the strings have the same text components, directions, and separators.  If character sets are specified, they must be equal as well.  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. 

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 equivalent.
