XMSTRINGLINECOUNT(3)

💖 XmStringLineCount 💖

okay bestie, so this one is a library call from the <Xm/Xm.h> world — it's a compound string function, and it's literally just here to tell you how many lines of text are hiding in your compound string. no cap, that's the whole job. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

XmStringLineCount — a compound string function that returns the number of separators plus one in the provided compound string. it's giving "how many lines tho" energy 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
int XmStringLineCount(
XmString string);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like. XmStringLineCount returns the number of separators plus one in the provided compound string. in effect — and this is the cute part — it counts the lines of text. that's it. that's the function. she's simple, she's iconic, she serves. ✨

• string — specifies the string. that's the one thing you hand her. 🫶

---

👑 RETURN 👑

returns the number of lines in the compound string. periodt. 💖

• if string is empty, the function returns 1.
• if NULL is passed into string, the function returns 0 (zero).

ngl the empty-string-returns-1 thing is lowkey funny but it's real, bestie — empty string still counts as one line. NULL is the one that gets you 0. know the difference, iykyk 💀
