💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ XmStringByteStreamLength takes a byte stream format string and hands you back the size, in bytes, of that whole stream — and yes, including the header 👑

and because that header is always there doing its little header thing, even a NULL string will make XmStringByteStreamLength return a non-zero value. like. it's still counting the header. the header does not care. the header is the main character fr fr 😭

• string — specifies the byte stream format string 🫶

🌈 RETURN VALUES 🌈

returns the size of string, including the header ✨ (yes bestie, the header again. she's obsessed with that header. we love her for it.)

and that's the whole page, gorgeous 🌸 this one comes to you straight from the Xm library, XmStringByteStreamLength(library call), iconic as ever 👑 stay slay, read your headers, and remember: the header is always included 💖✨🎀
