XMSTRINGPEEKNEXTCOMPONENT(3)

💖 XmStringPeekNextComponent 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the library call section of the manual, and it's a Motif compound string function — yes, we're in the Xm zone, come on in, the water's fine 🫶

It's called XmStringPeekNextComponent, and the whole personality of this function is: it peeks 👀 — it tells you what the next component is gonna be, without actually taking it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

XmStringPeekNextComponent — a compound string function that returns the component type of the next component to be fetched 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmStringComponentType XmStringPeekNextComponent(
XmStringContext context);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first thing, and I need you to hear me on this one: this function is obsolete. Not "old but iconic", not "vintage", just obsolete — it exists purely for compatibility with previous releases. It got replaced by XmStringPeekNextTriple. periodt. 💀

That said, if you're maintaining some legacy situation, here's the tea:

XmStringPeekNextComponent examines the next component that would be fetched by XmStringGetNextComponent, and it returns that component's type. So it's like, the little sneak preview before the actual reveal — it looks, but it doesn't advance anything, it doesn't fetch anything. Just vibes and information ✨

• context — specifies the string context structure that was allocated by the XmStringInitContext function 🌈

---

👑 RETURN 👑

Returns the type of component found. If you wanna know what all the possible component types even are, go check the XmStringComponentType(3) reference page — it's got the full list, it's giving encyclopedia 💖
