XmStringNCopy(3X)

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

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Xm.h>

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

     DESCRIPTION
          XmStringNCopy creates a copy of s1 that contains a specified
          number of bytes, including tags, directional indicators, and
          separators.  It then returns the resulting compound string.
          The original strings are preserved.  The space for the
          resulting compound string is allocated within the function.
          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.
