XMSTRINGCOMPONENTCREATE(3)

💖 XmStringComponentCreate — the glow-up page ✨

okay bestie, welcome to XmStringComponentCreate — she's a library call and she's here to build you arbitrary components, no cap 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

XmStringComponentCreate — a compound string function that creates arbitrary components 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString XmStringComponentCreate(
XmStringComponentType c_type,
unsigned int length,
XtPointer value);

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the tea: XmStringComponentCreate creates a brand-new XmString component of type c_type, and it's carrying value inside it 🎀. But lowkey — if value is invalid for that particular component type, this function fails and returns NULL. Not dramatic, just facts. 😭

• c_type — specifies the type of component to be created. (yes queen, you gotta pick one 👑)
• length — specifies the length in bytes of value. And listen, this has to be precisely the length of the value string, not including any trailing null characters. Not approximately. Not "close enough". Precisely. fr fr 🙈
• value — specifies the value to be used in the creation of the component.

💡 heads up: go check the XmStringComponentType(3) reference page for the full list of possible XmString component types — that's your menu of options, iykyk 🌈

🫶 RETURN 🫶

If value is invalid for c_type, she fails and returns NULL. 😔 Otherwise? This function returns a new compound string, periodt. ✨

And when the application no longer needs the returned compound string, the application should call XmStringFree. Clean up after yourself bestie, we don't leave compound strings lying around 🧹💖
