XmStringByteCompare(3)

NAME

   XmStringByteCompare  ---  A  compound  string function that indicates the
   results of a byte-by-byte  comparison  "XmStringByteCompare"  "compound
   string functions" "XmStringByteCompare"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   Boolean XmStringByteCompare(
   XmString s1,
   XmString s2);

DESCRIPTION

   This  function  is  obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous
   releases.  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 XmStringCreateLocalized 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  font  list  element
   tag  set  other  than  XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG using XmStringCreate, the
   strings compare as equal.

   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.

   s1        Specifies a compound string to be compared with s2

   s2        Specifies a compound string to be compared with s1

RETURN

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