XMPARSEMAPPINGCREATE(3)

💖 XmParseMappingCreate 💖

ok so bestie, this one's a library call — it lives in the manual under XmParseMappingCreate(library call) and it's genuinely one of the good ones. Let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

XmParseMappingCreate — a compound string function that creates a parse mapping 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmParseMapping XmParseMappingCreate(
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So XmParseMappingCreate creates a parse mapping, and that mapping is meant to be used in a parse table. No cap. 🫶

The way this works is: it lets your application specify values for the components of the parse mapping using a resource-style argument list. Very demure, very mindful.

• arglist — Specifies the argument list. (this is the little list of stuff you're passing in, bestie)
• argcount — Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). Yes, you literally have to count them yourself. iconic behavior honestly 😭

For a complete definition of XmParseMapping and its associated resources, go read XmParseMapping(3). That's the deep lore, iykyk 📖✨

---

👑 RETURN 👑

It returns the XmParseMapping object. periodt. 💅

And listen — the function allocates space to hold the returned XmParseMapping object, so you are responsible for managing that allocated space. It's giving main character energy but also it's giving chores. 🧚

Good news though: your app can recover the allocated space by calling XmParseMappingFree. clean up after yourself, bestie, we love a tidy queen 🌈
