XmStringByteCompare(3X)

     NAME
          XmStringByteCompare - A compound string function that
          indicates the results of a byte-by-byte comparison

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Xm.h>

          Boolean XmStringByteCompare (s1, s2)
               XmString  s1;
               XmString  s2;

     DESCRIPTION
          XmStringByteCompare returns a Boolean indicating the results
          of a byte-by-byte comparison of two compound strings.

          In general, if two compound strings are created with the
          same (char *) string using XmStringCreateLocalized in the
          same language environment, the compound strings compare as
          equal.  If two compound strings are created with the same
          (char *) string and the same font list element tag set other
          than XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG using XmStringCreate, the
          strings compare as equal.

          In some cases, once a compound string is put into a widget,
          that string is converted into an internal form to allow
          faster processing.  Part of the conversion process strips
          out unnecessary or redundant information.  If an application
          then does an XtGetValues to retrieve a compound string from
          a widget (specifically, Label and all of its subclasses), it
          is not guaranteed that the compound string returned is
          byte-for-byte the same as the string given to the widget
          originally.

          s1   Specifies a compound string to be compared with s2

          s2   Specifies a compound string to be compared with s1

     RETURN VALUE
          Returns True if two compound strings are identical byte-by-
          byte.
