XmStringByteCompare(3X)
OSF/Motif
NAME
  XmStringByteCompare - A compound string function that indicates the results
  of a byte-by-byte comparison

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Xm/Xm.h>

  Boolean XmStringByteCompare (s1, s2)
	  XmString s1;
	  XmString s2;

DESCRIPTION
  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

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