XmStringNCopy(3X)

NAME
     XmStringNCopy  -- A  compound string function that creates a copy of a com-
     pound string

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xm/Xm.h>

     XmString XmStringNCopy (s1, num_bytes)
          XmString  s1;
          int       num_bytes;


VERSION
     This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.

DESCRIPTION
     XmStringNCopy creates a copy of s1 that  contains  a  specified  number  of
     bytes, including tags, directional indicators, and separators.  It then re-
     turns  the  resulting compound string.  The original strings are preserved.
     The space for the resulting compound string is allocated within  the  func-
     tion.   The  application  is  responsible for managing the allocated space.
     The memory can be recovered by calling XmStringFree.

     s1     Specifies the compound string.

     num_bytes
            Specifies the number of bytes of s1 to copy.  If this value is  less
            than the length of s1, as many bytes as possible, but possibly fewer
            than  this  value,  will  be  appended to s1 such that the resulting
            string is still a valid compound string.


RETURN VALUE
     Returns a new compound string.
