💖 XmStringCreate — bestie we're making a compound string ✨

okay so real talk, this one is a library call from the Xm family, and it's the lil glow-up moment where a plain ol' C string becomes a whole compound string. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString XmStringCreate(
char *text,
char *tag);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

XmStringCreate creates a compound string with two components: the text and a font list element tag. That's it, that's the whole vibe — two little pieces, one slay result 💅

and like, important: the function will allocate space to hold the returned compound string. so when your app is done with it and no longer needs it? bestie you must call XmStringFree. do not ghost it, do not leak it, that's not the move 🙈

  • text — specifies a NULL-terminated string to be used as the text component of the compound string. ✨
  • tag — specifies the tag component to be associated with the given text. The value XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG identifies a locale text segment. 🌈
lowkey a memory-management situation here — allocate with this, free with XmStringFree, no cap 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns a new compound string. brand new, fresh out the box, main character energy 👑
