✨ XmRenderTableGetRenditions ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a library call from the Xm family and it's lowkey the matchmaker of the rendition world πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

XmRenderTableGetRenditions β€” a convenience function that matches rendition tags πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmRendition *XmRenderTableGetRenditions(
XmRenderTable table,
XmStringTag *tags,
Cardinal tag_count);

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

So XmRenderTableGetRenditions goes snooping through table and hands you back an array of copies of the renditions whose XmNtag resources match a tag over in tags. That's the whole vibe. ✨

If literally zero renditions match? You get NULL. Bye. πŸ‘‹

But here's the tea: the size of the array it gives you back is tag_count. And the XmNtag resource of each rendition in there is gonna match the corresponding tag in tags β€” position by position, no cap. So if one specific tag has no match at all? That exact slot in the return value is just NULL. Not skipped, not shifted, just a sad little NULL sitting in its assigned seat. 😭

Important, fr fr: it is your responsibility as the caller to clean up. Call the XmRenditionFree function to free the new renditions, and call XtFree to free the array itself. You made the mess, bestie, you clean it. πŸ§ΉπŸ’€

Now the arguments, one by one:

  • table β€” specifies the table containing renditions to be searched. πŸ‘‘
  • tags β€” specifies the tags to search for. πŸ”
  • tag_count β€” specifies the number of tags in tags. πŸ”’

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Returns NULL if there is no match β€” periodt. πŸ’€

Otherwise? This function returns an array of new XmRenditions. Slay. πŸ‘‘βœ¨


iykyk, go read those next, they're the friend group πŸ’œ


and that's the whole page, bestie!! πŸŽ€ this iconic lil number comes from the library call manual, and its footer is literally just XmRenderTab...tRenditions(library call) β€” yeah the name got chopped mid-word, she's mysterious like that πŸ¦‹πŸ’– mwah, go forth and match those tags ⭐
