XmStringGetNextSegment(3)

NAME

   XmStringGetNextSegment  ---  A  compound string function that fetches the
   bytes in the next segment of a compound string "XmStringGetNextSegment"
   "compound string functions" "XmStringGetNextSegment"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   Boolean XmStringGetNextSegment(
   XmStringContext context,
   char **text,
   XmStringTag *tag,
   XmStringDirection *direction,
   Boolean *separator);

DESCRIPTION

   This  routine  is  obsolete  and exists for compatibility with previous
   releases. To  read  the  contents  of  a  compound  string,  read  each
   component  of  the  string  with  XmStringGetNextTriple.  This XmString
   function returns the type, length, and value of the next  component  in
   the  compound  string.  XmStringGetNextSegment fetches the bytes in the
   next segment; repeated calls fetch sequential segments. The text,  tag,
   and  direction of the fetched segment are returned each time. A Boolean
   status is returned to indicate whether a valid segment was successfully
   parsed.

   If the function returns True, then the function allocates space to hold
   the returned text and tag. The application is responsible for  managing
   the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by
   calling XtFree.

   context   Specifies the string context structure which was allocated by
             the XmStringInitContext function

   text      Specifies a pointer to a NULL-terminated string

   tag       Specifies  a  pointer to the font list element tag associated
             with the text

   direction Specifies a pointer to the direction of the text

   separator Specifies whether the next component of the  compound  string
             is a separator

RETURN

   Returns True if a valid segment is found.
