XMPARSETABLE(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, this is XmParseTable from the library call section, and it's literally the data type for a compound string parse table. that's the whole main character energy right there. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Xm/Xm.h>

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so XmParseTable is the data type for an array of parse mappings — and those mapping objects are of type XmParseMapping. it's giving "compound string parse table" and we're obsessed. no cap. ✨

A parse table is used by some routines that parse and unparse compound strings. The table is an ordered list of parse mappings. A parsing routine that uses a parse table scans the input text and searches the parse mappings, in order, for one containing a pattern that matches the input text. The matching parse mapping supplies a compound string to be included in the compound string under construction. periodt. 💅

An unparsing routine that uses a parse table searches the parse mappings, in order, for one containing a compound string that matches the input compound string. The unparsing routine can then include the parse mapping's text pattern in the output text under construction. iconic behavior. 🌸
