XmStringUnparse - Man Page

A compound string function that unparses text

Synopsis

#include <Xm/Xm​.h>
XtPointer XmStringUnparse(
XmString string,
XmStringTag tag,
XmTextType tag_type,
XmTextType output_type,
XmParseTable parse_table,
Cardinal parse_count,
XmParseModel parse_model);

Description

XmStringUnparse looks in the input string for text segments that are tagged with locale or charset tags that match tag​. The tag_type parameter specifies whether the tag is a locale or charset type​. If tag has a value of NULL, all the segments are matched​. When a text segment is found with a matching tag, it is added to the end of a resulting string​. The characters in the resulting string are of type output_type​.

XmStringUnparse also checks string for components that match components in parse_table, and also to see if the component matches the condition specified by parse_model​. If the string component matches in both checks, then the associated character is added to the end of the resulting string​.

string

Specifies the XmString to be converted​.

tag

Specifies the tag to be used in matching with text segments​. Only text segments that match tag will be included in the resulting string​. If tag has a value of NULL, all segments are considered as matches, and tag_type is ignored​.

tag_type

Specifies the type of tag to be searched for, including XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT, XmWIDECHAR_TEXT, and XmCHARSET_TEXT​.

output_type

Specifies the type of text to be returned in the string, including XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT, XmWIDECHAR_TEXT, and XmCHARSET_TEXT​.

parse_table

Specifies the parse table to be used in scanning for compound string components to be converted to other characters​.

parse_count

Specifies how many entries are in parse_table​.

parse_model

Specifies which non-text components to be considered in matching in parse_table​. These include:

XmOUTPUT_ALL

Puts out all matching components​.

XmOUTPUT_BETWEEN

Puts out only those matching components that are between two matching text components​.

XmOUTPUT_BEGINNING

Puts out only those matching components that are at the beginning of a matching text component​.

XmOUTPUT_END

Puts out only those matching components that are at the end of a matching text component​.

XmOUTPUT_BOTH

Puts out only those matching components that are at the beginning or end of a matching text component​.

Return

Returns a newly allocated string containing characters of a type determined by output_type​. The application is responsible for managing this allocated space​. The application can recover this allocated space by calling XtFree​.
