XmStringNCopy(3X)

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

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Xm.h>
          XmString XmStringNCopy(
          XmString s1,
          int num_bytes);

     VERSION
          This page documents Motif 2.1.

     DESCRIPTION
          This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with
          previous releases.  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 function allocates space for the resulting
          compound string.  The application is responsible for
          managing the allocated space.  The application can recover
          the allocated space 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
          Returns a new compound string.
