XMDIRECTIONMATCHPARTIAL(3)

💅 XmDirectionMatchPartial — like, the NAME section, bestie

Okay so this page is XmDirectionMatchPartial, a library call from the Motif/Xm world, and she's here to do exactly one thing: check one specific direction component of two direction values. That's it. That's the whole job. Iconic, honestly. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Boolean XmDirectionMatchPartial (d1, d2, dmask)
        XmDirection     d1;
        XmDirection     d2;
        XmDirection     dmask;
(void)

No cap, that's the whole signature. Three XmDirection args in, one Boolean out. Simple girl, simple life. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: XmDirectionMatchPartial compares d1 and d2 along the direction component that you specify with dmask. Not the whole vibe — just the one slice you asked about. For example, if dmask equals XmVERTICAL_MASK, then the function will compare only the vertical components of d1 and d2. That's it, that's the whole point of the "Partial" in the name, periodt. 💖

• d1 — Specifies an XmDirection value to check. (Your first little guy. 🫶)
• d2 — Specifies an XmDirection value to check. (Your second little guy. They're getting compared. It's giving rivals-to-lovers, lowkey. 💜)
• dmask — Specifies the direction component along which d1 and d2 are to be checked. Appropriate values for dmask are XmHORIZONTAL_MASK, XmVERTICAL_MASK, and XmPRECEDENCE_MASK. Pick your fighter. 👑

fr fr, dmask is the whole main character here. You're literally telling the function which axis of the situation you care about. 🌈

✨ RETURN VALUES ✨

• Returns True if the d1 and d2 match in the component specified by dmask
• otherwise, returns False

That's it. Binary queen. 💅 No shades of grey, no "maybe", just True or False and she moves on with her day. 🔥
