XmStringByteCompare - Man Page

#include <Xm/Xm​.h>
Boolean XmStringByteCompare(
XmString s1,
XmString s2);

This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases​. It is replaced by XmStringCompare​.

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

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