XMSTRINGTABLETOXMSTRING(3)

💖 XmStringTableToXmString 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the XmStringTableToXmString page from the library call manual — yes she's a real one, she's giving Motif, she's giving convenience function, and she is here to convert a compound string table into one single compound string. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

XmStringTableToXmString — a convenience function that converts a compound string table to a single compound string. literally that's her whole job and she does it flawlessly. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString XmStringTableToXmString(
XmStringTable table,
Cardinal count,
XmString break_component);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea 🍓: XmStringTableToXmString takes as input table of compound strings and a specified string component (think: a tab, bestie) and returns a single compound string made of every element of table concatenated together, with one single copy of break_component inserted between each element. not before the first one, not after the last one, between. she's precise like that. 👑

• table — specifies an XmStringTable containing the compound strings to be converted. the raw material, the moment, the vibe. ✨
• count — specifies the number of compound strings in table. tell her how many she's working with, she's not a mind reader. 🙈
• break_component — specifies the XmStringComponent that will be inserted in the result to separate the individual elements of table. the most useful types will be XmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR and XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAB. refer to the XmStringComponentType(3) reference page for a complete list of possible component types. note, however, that the XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN component is not a possible type. 🚫

⚠️ fr fr, XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN is not invited to this party. don't try it. 💀

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

returns a new XmString. the function will allocate space to hold the returned compound string. when the application no longer needs the returned compound string, the application should call XmStringFree. 🫶

💖 bestie please free your strings, memory leaks are not the aesthetic. this is your reminder, not a suggestion. ✨
